God does not bargain with us, nor can we barter with Him. He holds our eternal salvation in His omnipotent hand, and He bids us take it as a free gift, "without money and without price."
Yet this is hard for us to accept. Surely something as prcious as salvation must cost us greatly! Surely God must demand we work for it!
But that is wrong-and the reason isbecause the price has already been paid! Salvation is free-but it wasn't cheap. It cost the dear Son of God His very life.
Only cheap,tawdy things have a price tag on them. The best things in life are free-the air we breath, the stars at night, the wonder of human love. But the greatest gift of all is our salvation, purchased for us by Jesus Christ. "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!" 2 Corinthians 9:15
Come, Buy...without money and without price Isaiah 55:1
words of Billy Graham from the book, God's Passion for You.
