Free 4 All

Free 4 All

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God (V.8).

Ephesians 2:8-9

Reading

My church wanted to help people and families in our community who were struggling to find enough money to buy food and pay bills. So one Saturday afternoon we held an event called “Free 4 All”.

We all brought along things of our own that we hardly used for one reason or another. Then we opened the doors for everyone and anyone to come and look at all the stuff and take away whatever they could make use of.

In terms of the amount of things we gave away, the day was a huge success! But something else made it even better: six people decided to trust Jesus as their Saviour. In a way these six new Christians took part in the greatest “Free 4 All” of all time—the offer of new life through Jesus Christ. The things that were taken to the church to be given away had already been paid for. They were given without cost to all who simply asked for them. In the same way, forgiveness for our sins has already been paid for. Jesus paid the price when He died on a cross over 2,000 years ago (ROM. 3:23-25). He now offers salvation at no cost to all who simply turn to Him and believe that He has the power to forgive and save (ACTS 16:31).

Each of us is spiritually needy—and only Jesus can meet that need. Have you accepted what He offers without cost at the world’s biggest “Free 4 All”?

SALVATION IS FREE, BUT YOU MUST CHOOSE IT FOR YOURSELF.
