What is the greatest Gift of all? Is it Joy? Is it Love? Joy may make you Happy and Love may bring Happiness. There in only one gift that can save your soul from the depts. of Hell. But there is one gift, above all others, that God has given to the world. God Gave His Only Son. (John 3:16) Of all the gifts people have received none is greater than the gift of God’s Son. Of all the gifts God has given to mankind, none is greater than the gift of His Son. In Jesus, God gave mankind a way out of sin. In Jesus, God gave everyone a path back to Him. In Jesus, God demonstrated His love for people by giving the greatest gift of all. God gave this marvelous gift because He loves people and wants to save us from sin. God doesn’t want any to perish (II Peter 3:9), and gives us the chance to come back to Him through His Son. God gave His Son and asks us to give in return (our obedience). The Gift Is Free. (Romans 6:23) During this season, gifts are exchanged because it is expected. Family members buy for each other (Employees, friends, etc.) God’s gift is not like that. We cannot earn it and we do not deserve it. We received this gift “while we were yet sinners.” (Rom. 5:8) We had no relationship with God because we were sinners, yet God gives us the free gift of eternal life through the gift of His Son. (Ephesians 2:4-6), God reached out to us even when we were undeserving and unworthy. We give gifts to those who treat us a certain way or who are related to us. God freely gave in order to save people who were undeserving.
