What is this free gift?
It is the free gift of eternal life with God, who is a loving Father.
"How do I receive this free gift?"
It is very simple.
Acknowledge that you have sinned and that the tiniest of sins separates you from having an eternal life with God.
Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God - One with God - God in the flesh.
Jesus Christ lived on earth without sinning at all, not even the smallest of sins.
He was crucified, killed, unjustly punished as if He had done something wrong. He died as if He was a sinner, descended into hell, but hell had no power to keep Him.
On the third day, He rose from the dead, with the keys to hell and death. One sinless Man, unjustly punished with a sinner's death, paid the price that justifies a sinful humanity to receive the FREE GIFT of eternal life with God!!
All you have to do is believe these things and trust in what was accomplished for you by Jesus' death on the cross. By faith, receive the gift of eternal life with God. Then go tell someone.
Open the door and receive the free gift of eternal life!

Why do you need this gift of eternal life with God?
Every person was born with a sinful nature. It could turn out to be a lengthy Biblical teaching to show why each person was born with a sin nature. So for the sake of time, the proof is in our actions. Every person has sinned and will sin. Have you ever told the tiniest of lies? Have you ever been jealous? Have you ever gossiped?
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Well, these tiny sins are enough to separate us from an eternal life with God. This is the reason why every single person needs this gift.
God loves each and every person and desires us to have a relationship with Him here on earth, before our body dies, and afterwards for eternity with Him in Heaven.
So, because every single person was born with a sinful nature, God had to provide a way for us to be reconciled to Him, without sin.
Okay, this is where it gets really good!!!
If we all sin, how can God provide a way for us to be without sin?
Well, God came to earth as a Man... His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus is God in the flesh!
John 14:7
"If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from
now on you know Him and have seen Him." ..."
John 14:9
... He who has seen Me has seen the Father; ...
God came down to earth as His Son Jesus Christ. He lived His life completely without sin. He was punished as a sinner, crucified, and died. He spent three days in hell, unjustly suffering a sinner's death. After three days, the total debt of sinful humanity was paid... the sinless for the sinful... the just for the unjust. Now, by our faith in Him, we are justified and reconciled to God.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
He is the only One who paid the price for our sin.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through Me.
Now, He offers us the gift of forgiveness for our sins, and eternal life with the Father.
All you have to do is...
Romans 10:9
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans10:10
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Pretty simple, huh? Yep! I hope and pray that you will always keep yourself in faith that your salvation (eternal life with God) is a gift. It was paid in full by the Lord Jesus Christ's death on the cross.
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Still not sure if you need this free gift of eternal life with God? Well, here are some of the scriptures that show the flip side if you choose to reject this gift...
Mark16:16
He who believes and is baptized will be saved (from
condemnation); but he who does not believe will be condemned.

He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:36
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
