Conclusion:

Folks, we need to understand something this morning…God’s so great gift of salvation and eternal life is indeed God’s ‘gift’ to us; but our choice to live, and to serve, and to work for The One who has saved us is our gift unto God! Let me ask you today, dear child of God…if you were on trial for being a truly born again child of God—a ‘Christian’, would there be enough outward evidence of your inward gift of salvation to convict you?? Is Your Salvation A Working Salvation Today? What are you doing for God that will stand the test of eternity today? If you were to stand before a judge seven days from today, what outward ‘works’ could you provide as evidence of your ‘inward gift’ of God’s so great salvation??
