SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT TO BELIEVERS!
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace* are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
Note: * "Grace" is undeserved, unearnable, unmerited favor; it is rooted in the love of the giver and in spite of the receiver.
EXAMPLES OF SINNERS NEEDING GRACE!
Genesis 6:5-8 - And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD (it grieved the LORD) that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Me (grieves Me) that I have made them. But NOAH found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Luke 1:26-28 - And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, you that are highly favored (from the Greek root xaris, most often translated grace; it means to be made acceptable in Ephesians 1:6; notice Mary herself call her child her Savior in verse 47!), the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women.
IF NOAH AND MARY NEEDED GOD'S GRACE
PROVIDED BY A SAVIOR; DON'T YOU?
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, WHOSOEVER SHALL
CALL UPON THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED!
CALL NOW WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME!
