Appropriating God's Gift Of Salvation

[Christian Living]

[Christian Living]

Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
  On Calvary.
     Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
    At Calvary.
2
By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
  To Calvary.
3
Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
  Of Calvary.
4
Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
  At Calvary!

KeyNOTE FROM THE DISCUSSION
1. Salvation is so precious that it can not be bought with money. God of necessity wrap it for us as a GIFT

2. The gift of God is eternal life through Christ our Lord. We had a life before, the new life is that which is eternal.

3. A gift is not cheap. It is given out of goodwill or for the fact that you can not overcome it.
