The Belief that we as born-again believers are forgiven of all sins, (past, present and future) is held by the free gift of salvation. Salvation that God has redeemed that which was lost and adopted that which has been redeemed into His family for eternity, see Ephesians 1. We are secure in that eternal life, see John 10:27-29. The free gift of salvation is just that free. It is what God has done for us. The only thing that we can do is accept it or reject it. If we must do any thing else, then Salvation is no longer a free gift and our salvation is based on our works or deeds and then salvation is no longer free. If Salvation is anything but free then Romans 6:23 is a lie and if that is the case then the whole of God’s Word is false. |

Though his gift is free, we cannot repay anything God has given us, we become living sacrifices in the Lord (1 peter 2:5?). In a sense, everything we have, down to our last drop of blood, must be given to our Lord. It's free, but we cannot step back and say, "oh, it's free, so I don't have to do anything. I can just laze off and do what I want." I just had to say something. : ) |
