”For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.“
Romans 6:23 ESV
Since the day we are born, we have the gift of Jesus available to open and enjoy all the days of our life and for eternity. The process of opening the gift of Christ consists of our believing that He is the son of God, who came to redeem us, and forgive us of our sins. It requires our belief and our confession of sin which leads us to the knowledge of our salvation. Once we have received Christ, we are filled with His Spirit and through His Spirit, we will have a lifelong relationship filled with His love, His guidance, His conviction, and His love for God.
The Holy Spirit will open our eyes to see the world differently. He will open our hearts to receive, and to share God‘s love beyond measure, and beyond our own strength and ability. It does not mean that we won’t stumble and fall into temptation, but it does mean that when we realize the sin in our lives, through the convection of His spirit, we will want to turn to Him and receive His forgiveness and freedom from the guilt and burden of sin. If you are weighed down with guilt, fear, hopelessness, just reach out to God and call on Christ to come into your life and enjoy Him forever.
