Yes, strange as it may seem in this day when money is
virtually the god of multitudes, the most valuable thing in life can be had Without Money.
It may
not be possible to secure food, raiment, shelter, education and transportation
without money; but that which is more important and more interesting than all
these is absolutely free.
Undoubtedly
it will be agreed that the salvation of God is the most valuable thing in life.
And, though at an infinite cost to God, that salvation has been provided as a
free gift to man. This is evident from the words of the Apostle Peter to Simon:
“Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may
be purchased with money” (Acts 8:20). God regardeth not the rich more than the
poor (Job 34:19).
And not
only is this salvation to be had Without Money, it is also Without Price!
There may be those
who will readily admit that it is impossible to purchase God’s salvation with
money, but who at the same time insist that there is some sort of price to pay
for it. To all such, the following Scripture should make it plain that
salvation is without price: “Being justified freely by His grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24).
“Freely”
here means “gratuitously,” “without a cause,” “for naught.” And “grace means
“everything for nothing to one who deserves nothing but judgment.”
The Lord
Jesus Christ paid the price of salvation. He “gave Himself for our sins” (Gal.
1:4). The Son of God “loved me and gave Himself for me” Gal. 2:20). Because He
paid the price-His precious blood- there remains no price for us to pay. We are
justified “freely” and “by His grace.” Further more, this salvation is also to
be had Without Works!
Most
persons have difficulty in believing that salvation is without works. They seem
to be satisfied that they cannot purchase salvation in any way, but they
entertain the thought that they can work for it. Let all such consider the
following passages: “Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:9).
“Now to him
that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that
worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is
counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:4-5).
“Who hath saved us,
and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according
to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the
world began” (2 Timothy 1:9).
“Not by
works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved
us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit”(Titus
3:5).
“Therefore
we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law”
(Romans 3:28).
Upon
believing the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your salvation, you will receive the
Holy Spirit. Possessing Him, you will be able to “be zealous of good works”
(Titus 2:14). But do not imagine that this is working For salvation. Salvation
is “without works”; but every person already saved, should be zealous of good
works-not to be saved, but because he is saved. In addition to all this,
salvation is to be had Without Waiting!
It is
difficult for many to believe that salvation is to be had without waiting. They
are laboring under the impression that it is necessary for them to wait until
they are better or to wait for certain feelings or to wait for certain sounds
and sights. They imagine that they must wait for a “more convenient season.”
All such
should be eager to know that the Scripture says: Behold, now is the accepted
time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2Cor. 6:2). It is not necessary to
wait another moment to be saved. This voice, harden not your hearts” (Heb.
3:15). Will you have God’s salvation without money, without price, without
works and Without Waiting?
