"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?" -Romans 8:32 (NASB)
Someone recently mentioned that even though it is said that giving is better than receiving, it is nice to receive, too. Throughout the many celebrations of Christmas, I have tried to teach my daughter to be both a cheerful giver and an appreciative receiver of gifts. Through any giving and receiving, we shouldn't lose sight of the greatest gift that has been given to us: God's Son!
God gave to us the gift of redemption from all of our sin through the sacrifice of His Son. God has freely given us the gift of salvation and eternal life with Him. We should be grateful for God's gift and experience the joy of receiving His forgiveness and love. We should also be cheerful givers and share God's freely given gift of salvation with others. God's gift is one we can both receive and freely give!
Be an appreciative receiver of God's grace and mercy and be a cheerful giver as you share God's plan with others!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all that You have given to me in my life. Help me to appreciate all that I have been given, especially salvation through Your Son, and help me to share Your freely given gifts with others. Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray, amen.
