For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, “ The righteous by faith will live.” Romans 1:16-17 NET
Salvation is free! God puts no price tag on the ultimate Gift —it’s free! The Lord covers us with grace, that we might share His forgiveness, understanding and love, abundantly with those we encounter. And remember we are not salesmen, of the Gospel, for there is nothing to sell.
Rather we are bearers of Good News—the Gospel, believing Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Money can’t buy it. Our righteousness can’t earn it. Social prestige can’t help us acquire it. Moral living can’t purchase it.
God holds in His hand the priceless, precious, eternal offering of salvation, and He bids us to take it without money and without price. The best things in life are free, right? The air we breathe is not sold by the cubic foot. Joy is free, faith is free, hope is free.
By His amazing grace! Hallelujah!
Therefore it makes sense that Jesus’ message is faith fuelled by God’s grace. It is salvation for all who believe in Him. It is mercy and compassion and forgiveness for all who would put their faith in Him.
