Salvation Free Without Money -
By Tom M. Olsen
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” (Romans 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” (Galatians 1:4).
The Son of God “loved me and gave Himself for me” Galatians 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” (Second 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 fait 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!
t 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”
(Second Corinthians 6:2). It is not necessary to wait another moment to
be saved. This voice, harden not your hearts” (Hebrews 3:15).
There is only way to be SAVED 1. Corinthian 15;1 - 4 Christ died for our sins was buried and rose again the third day. Believe this from you heart and you will have eternal life.
SO GREAT SALVATION!{Click}
