Gift of God

Romans 6:23

This year Americans will give an average of 24 Christmas gifts per person, with a total value of $65 billion.  That’s a lot of gifts for a lot of people involving a lot of money.

God also has a gift for all people and it will not cost them any money.

Jesus met a Samaritan woman who came to a well to draw water. He asked her for a drink. She was surprised Jesus, being a Jew, would speak to her. Jesus said to her, “If thou knewest the GIFT OF GOD, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him…”

What is the GIFT OF GOD? The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 6:23).

I.  It is an UNSPEAKABLE gift.

1 Corinthians 9:15— “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”  There are no words to adequately describe it.

All the gifts given throughout the world this Christmas combined, will never compare with the one single gift given by Jesus Christ to anyone who will receive it.

A.   Unspeakable value (Valuable because of the Giver).

Jesus said, “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mk. 8:36-37).

B.  Unspeakable cost—The precious BLOOD of Christ (1 Pet. 1:18-19).

C.   Unspeakable love—It is impossible to describe the love of God. Why God would sacrifice His Son for people who hate Him… curse Him… and are His enemies? When was the last time you gave an expensive gift to one of worst enemies?
