The greatest gift [Romans 6 v23 ]

I wonder how many gifts you have received? ,I can think of so many,that I
have received,can you remember the first gift you received?,or the last?What would you consider the most important gift,or even the most precious gift?. Recently I was offered a sum of money as a gift,which I could not
accept,the thing about gifts, they are freely given,you do not pay for a gift,
no they are free.The greatest gift anyone can receive is summed up in a verse of  scripture, it reads,/For the wages of sin is death,but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord [Romans 6 v23] Consider the purpose of this gift ,three things are mentioned,wages,sin and then death.
Sin costs,make no mistake about this,death natural , we die,we were not
created to die,but sin changed all that.Here death must be seen as even more than the physical,but also the spiritual,that death, does not mean the end, no it means an eternal existence,in that unmentionable place. So God in His mercy has sent His son to die on the cross,that our sins may be forgiven.
The result our sins can be forgiven,if,yes if,we accept the gift that He is offering us ,Jesus Christ.He offers us it, freely,no charge,freely,the question
is will you receive this most precious gift?,eternal life,by accepting Jesus as your Saviour?
                                              A  prayer.
Dear God you give us so much,and we are thankful,and yet sad to say,so
many of us refuse the greatest gift of all,that gift of eternal life through Jesus your son, help us to accept this wonderful gift ,of Jesus, Amen]
