"The Free Gift of God's Undeserved Grace"
Written by Rob Armstrong

​​"For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, ​not by works, so no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

​The Bible teaches that we can never be made right with God by being religious, devoting our lives to God, or serving others. Things like going to church, getting baptized, tithing, and trying to keep the 10 Commandments can never take away our sins or make us righteous before God. Romans 3:19-21, 1 Corinthians 1:17, Philippians 3:9

​We can never be forgiven by doing good works, giving up a sinful habit, or even promising to follow Jesus. It's not that these things are bad in themselves, it's just that they are not God's way of salvation. Acts 4:12, Romans 4:5-8, 11:6, Titus 3:5

According to the Scriptures, the only way that anyone can be forgiven and made right with God is through faith in Jesus Christ alone. He is the one and only Savior and the one and only way to God! ​Through His death and resurrection, He did everything that God required to save us. By His sacrifice and shed blood, He has washed away our sins and guilt forever. Now, anyone who simply puts their faith in Him alone is pronounced 'permanently and perfectly righteous' in God's sight! This is why the Gospel is called "Good News!" John 14:6, Romans 3:22-25​

​The good news of the Gospel is that the worst of sinners - those who are unworthy, undeserving, and powerless to save themselves (like you and me), need only to receive God's free gift of salvation by putting our faith in the Savior. God gives this gift freely and without cost to us the moment we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, because Jesus paid our sin debt once and for all on the cross. Romans 4:5, Romans 5:6, Romans 5:8, Romans 6:23​

​When you trust in Jesus Christ alone as your only Savior, God gives you the free gift of everlasting life and places you in His royal family! You become His dearly loved child and He treats you as being pure, precious and perfectly righteous forever!​

"You shall call His name Jesus for He will save His people from their sins...It is not by works of righteousness that we have done, but only by His mercy that He saves us...Anyone who believes in Him, receives forgiveness of sins through His name...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." Matthew 1:21, Titus 3:5, Acts 10:43, Acts 16:31

​The gift God offers you is forgiveness of sins, new life, and a home in heaven forever! To receive this free gift, simply believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your only Savior!
