Man’s Strange Sense of Values

Most people are looking for all they can get in this world. They will accept pleasures, riches, honors or anything which will add to their enjoyment here.
But when it comes to accepting from God true riches, pleasures for evermore, and a place with Christ in glory, they are not so ready to accept.
Salvation, forgiveness of sins, eternal life and everlasting inheritance in glory are freely offered by God to every needy sinner.
Yet how few there are who are willing to receive these priceless blessings!
How freely God in His Word offers His gifts to every believing sinner!
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom. 6:2323For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23).
"Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." Rom. 3:2424Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: (Romans 3:24).
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." Eph. 2:88For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:8).
No matter what your past life has been, if you will but bow to God in confession of sins and true repentance, and put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, all these blessings and many more are God's free gift to you.
If not saved, why not? The Lord Jesus Himself answers:
"Ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life." John 5:4040And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (John 5:40).
May this no longer be said of you.
Why not come to Him now?
"Repentance is the teardrop upon the eye of faith."
