Romans 6:23
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
In this verse, God describes eternal life as a free gift that is given by Christ Jesus our Lord. By putting our trust in Christ, God gives us the credit for Christ's perfect, sinless life and accepts the payment of Christ's death for our sins. He gives us eternal life as a gift and allows us to share in His glory. Salvation, which includes the gift of eternal life, cannot be bought or earned by the kind deeds we do, the generous giving we make, or the mountain of money we give. It is important to understand that salvation is a gift that comes from God. The promise of eternal life is open to all men and women. Nevertheless, there is one condition, and only one condition, for it. Only through Jesus Christ can we have free access to salvation. All who place their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life as God's free gift. Just like what Paul told the Philippian jailer: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16:31)
2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Hebrews 5:9
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Hebrews 2:10
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
