Many people believe they have put their faith in Jesus. But they also believe they have to earn salvation. God's gift of salvation is free to us because it cost the life and blood of Jesus Christ.
Here’s the good news: when Jesus was hanging on that cross, dying to save you, he did not use his dying words to say, “Earn this.” Do you know what he said instead? He said, “It is finished!” The work was completed at the cross.
Did you catch that? It is finished! That means done, complete, sealed, finished! That’s God’s gift of grace. Jesus has done all the work already. Jesus fulfilled the law that God had required mankind to live and Jesus died the death that was required of mankind.
You couldn’t possibly earn salvation even if you tried with everything you had. Another piece of good news is that God never expected you or I to earn His gift of salvation. We just need to receive His gift.
