Not your own!

Ephesians 2: 8

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God...

I spoke to my youngest brother, Chris yesterday, and we had another great chuckle at the expense of our dear old Dad.

We agreed that our Dad was the greatest legal swindler we’ve ever met in our lifetime.

He offered many words of advice when each of us five (5) boy’s were in the process of negotiating a deal on anything.

“If you can’t steal it, you don’t need it!”...and...“Make an offer you’re red face embarrassed to make!”

Dad literally made thousands of dollars, buying and selling airplanes.

He made money the old fashioned way, he earned it! Granted, at times at other people’s expense J

I’m not a great negotiator by trade, but I know a great deal when I see one.

The gift of Salvation was the greatest deal I’ve ever received.

My Dad would be glad, that I didn’t have to overspend for this gift.

It cost God the Father everything He had, so that we could all have the deal of a lifetime.

If Salvation is such a great bargain, so why don’t we tell more people about it than we do?

If there was a screaming sale at Fleet Farm, I’d tell everyone I know!!

My Dad also told us boys... “If it looks to be good to be true...it might just be!”

Just be sure you know, Salvation is free, and it’s as true, as it is good...
