Free, it is Free.

God gave us everything free of cost
Just imagine what will happen if God woud have tagged a price for oxygen we breathe? Or if God tagged a price for water we drink?
Though we humans sell it for money; God has given us many things for free and these free things are eternal
Lets read in our bibles now;

  • Free will
John:7:17 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
17 If any man desires to do His will (God’s pleasure),
 he will know (have the needed illumination to recognize, 
 and can tell for himself) whether the teaching is from God 
 or whether I am speaking from Myself 
 and of My own accord and on My own authority.
  • Free Gift:
Romans:5:15-17

15 But God’s free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass 
  [His grace is out of all proportion to the fall of man].
  For if many died through one man’s falling away (his lapse, his offense),
  much more profusely did God’s grace and 
  the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favor
  of the one Man Jesus Christ abound and
  overflow to and for [the benefit of] many.

16 Nor is the free gift at all to be compared 
  to the effect of that one [man’s] sin.
  For the sentence [following the trespass] of one
  [man] brought condemnation, whereas the free gift
  [following] many transgressions brings justification 
  ([j]an act of righteousness).

17 For if because of one man’s trespass
  (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one,
  much more surely will those who receive
  [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor)
  and the free gift of righteousness 
  [putting them into right standing with Himself]
  reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ
  (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
  • Free Inheritance:
Galatians:3:18

18 For if the inheritance [of the promise depends on observing]
  the Law [as these false teachers would like you to believe],
  it no longer [depends] on the promise; however,
  God gave it to Abraham [as a free gift solely] by virtue of His promise.
  • Free Salvation and Free Grace:
Ephesians:2:7,8

7 He did this that He might clearly demonstrate
 through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing)
 riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor)
 in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus.

8 For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor)
  that you are saved 
  ([c]delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation)
  through [your] faith. 
  And this [salvation] is not of yourselves
  [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving],
  but it is te gift of God;
  • Free Access to God
Ephesians:3:11-13

11 This is in accordance with the terms of the eternal
  and timeless purpose which He has realized and carried
  into effect in [the person of] Christ Jesus our Lord,

12 In Whom, because of our faith in Him,
   we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence)
   of free access 
   (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).

13 So I ask you not to lose heart
   [not to faint or become despondent through fear]
   at what I am suffering in your behalf. 
   [Rather glory in it] for it is an honor to you.
  • Free water of Life:
Revelation:22:17 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMP)

17 The [Holy] Spirit and the bride
  (the church, the true Christians) say,
  Come! And let him who is listening say,
  Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty
  [who is painfully conscious of his need
  of those things by which the soul is refreshed, 
  supported, and strengthened]; 
  and whoever [earnestly] desires to do it,
  let him come, take, appropriate, 
  and drink the water of Life without cost.

There was a man who wanted to go to another country in search of a job, but he had no other options but to travel in a ship; so he some how gained some money to buy the ticket to ride in that ship.

ship

The day of departure had come and he bid farewell to his friends and family.
When he went to the ship he noticed all the people were happy and some where singing, some started to read books, some went to dance, and as you know there are many entertainment in the ship because it takes a many days even months to reach the destination.
So, our friend as soon as he boarded the ship found a nice place near the side of the ship so he was enjoying the nature.

But when it was time to have dinner he did not go the dining hall because he did not have enough money to buy food for himself so he just simply quit it.
Next day our friend was so much hungry he cannot control his hunger; so he went to his bed and cried and cried thinking his poverty.
He prayed to Jesus to help him in this situation; then he slept.Free it is free

That night the captain of that ship came to meet the passengers and when he came to our friend; the captain said Mr. why are you so sad are you not feeling well?
Our friend replied Sir, I am alright, thanks for your concern
Captain: Are you enjoying the trip?
Our friend said with tears in his eyes But Sir, actually,…Sir I have no money to buy food so I just came here to sleep.
Captain said: If that is the case can I have your ticket please;
Our friend gave him the ticket; the captain said well; this is your ticket only,Did you saw the back side of your ticket?
He said No,sir.
MR. When you got your ticket you have paid money for both travelling and food just turn it sir, the ticket has free food because it is already paid; so you do not need to pay now.
Can you imagine how our friend would have felt and what could have been his immediate reaction?
God has given us many things for free it is our duty to claim it for oursleves and our family.
