Rafael/ Fort Lauderdale, Florida U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Our God, gives free gifts.
James
1:17 KJV
Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from
The Father Of Lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of
turning.
Gods'
Free Gifts:
Our
God, Gives Eternal Life:
John
10:28 KJV
And
I give unto them eternal Life; and they shall never perish, neither
shall any man pluck them out of My hand.
Romans
6:23 KJV
For
the wages of sin is death; but The Gift Of God is eternal Life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John
3:36 KJV
He
that believeth on The Son hath everlasting Life: and he that
believeth not The Son shall not see Life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.
Ephesians
2:8,9 KJV
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is The Gift Of God:
9
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
God
Gives Gifts To The Church:
I
Corinthians 12:28 KJV
And
God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily
prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of
healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Ephesians
4:11,12 KJV
11
And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ:
God
Gives His People, Joy:
Matthew
25:21 (23) KJV
His
lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou
hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over
many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
John
15:11 KJV
These
things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and
that your joy might be full.
Gives
His People, Rest:
Psalm
127:2 NLT
It
is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at
night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to His
loved ones.
Matthew
11:28 KJV
Come
unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.
Gives
His People, Peace:
Isaiah
26:3,4 KJV
3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
4
Trust ye in The Lord for ever: for in The Lord Jehovah is everlasting
strength:
John
14:27 KJV
Peace
I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.
Gives
His People, The Holy Spirit:
Luke
11:13 KJV
If
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children:
how much more shall your Heavenly Father give The Holy Spirit to them
that ask Him?
John
14:16,17 KJV
16
And I will pray The Father, and He shall give you another Comforter,
that He may abide with you for ever;
17
Even The Spirit Of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you.
We can't earn gifts, we may only, give thanks and receive them.
God
Gives His People A Crown Of Life:
Revelation
2:10 KJV
Fear
none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall
cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have
tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give
thee a crown of Life.
We can't earn, what God gives as free gifts.
Galatians
2:16,21 NLT
16
Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus
Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus,
so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in
Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be
made right with God by obeying the law.”
21 I
do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law
could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to
die.
Galatians
3:10-12 NLT
10
But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under
His curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not
observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of
the Law.”
11
So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to
keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a
righteous person has Life.”
12
This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says,
“It is through obeying the law that a person has Life.”
Galatians
4:9-12 NLT
9 So
now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why
do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak
and useless spiritual principles of this world?
10
You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or
months or seasons or years.
11 I
fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing.
12
Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to live as I do in
freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles—free
from those laws..."
Galatians
5:2,4,6 NLT
2
Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision
to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.
4
For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping
the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from
God’s grace.
6
For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in
being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith
expressing itself in love.
Galatians
6:15 NLT
It
doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts
is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
Titus
3:4,5 NLT
4
But When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love,
5 He
saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but
because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth
and new Life through The Holy Spirit.
Come,
Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Here I’ll raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand’ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my feeble heart to Thee.
“Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,”
Long I cried to be made pure;
“Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Work in me Thy double cure.”
Hallelujah! I have found it,
The full cleansing I had craved,
And to all the world I’ll sound it:
They too may be wholly saved.
I am sealed by Thy sweet Spirit,
Prone no longer now to roam;
And Thy voice, I’ll humbly hear it,
For Thy presence is my home.

Prayer:
Isaiah
45:21,22,25 KJV
21 "...there is no God else
beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me.
22 Look unto Me, and be ye saved,
all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
25 I, even I, am He that blotteth
out thy transgressions for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy
sins.
Isaiah 55:6 KJV
Seek ye The Lord while He may be
found, call ye upon Him while He is near:
