Take Me as I am (a Free gift)

“For the wages of sin is death, but the FREE gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Text: , “You see at just the right time, When we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Illustration: A free Gift: $5 and $20 - If I make you jump around for this $5, is it free? If I make you do ten push ups for this $5, is it free? But what If I give you $20 with no conditions?!?! All you have to do is accept the $20. No conditions, pre-requisites, or requirements. Just acceptance???
