People want free stuff such as free internet, free tv, free food, free housing, free utilities, free, free, free, or as the ad for Turbo Tax goes, free, free, free, free, free. But is it anything really free?
Your freedom is not free. It cost someone their life to ensure that your freedom was maintained. Stuff from the government is not free, it cost others through their taxes which keep rising to make sure you get so called free stuff. Stuff from retail/commercial companies is not free, they will just raise the price and make others pay for it. Minimum wage hike is not free, either companies raise their prices or they go out of business. Even salvation is not free.
Most of us take salvation from God through Jesus for granted, but your salvation cost Jesus His life. In fact, Jesus died for me and you whether you believe in Him or not.
Think about that as the ultimate price to pay. He paid for something with His life even though there are those who hate/hated Him. Why? Because God loves us. So the next time you say that you are a Christian which means to be like Christ, remember that He died for your sin and everyone else’s sin.
You are no better than the those who hate Christ. The only difference is that you are saved through Christ because of His actions and commitment to upholding God’s will.
So instead of arguing or getting mad or hating another simply because, how about we pray for them. Lets pray that God will touch their hearts to do the right thing which is to accept Jesus Christ as the son of God who died for their sin and arose on the third day to ascend into Heaven to sit at the right hand of God.
