I heard a good message the other day about salvation.  I  was blessed to be able to give my life over to Jesus very young.  About age 5, but I never tire of hearing those words.  We almost all have heard John 3:16  .  But I like verses 17 and 18 also.  vs. 17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  vs. 18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but he that believeth not, is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.    See the awesome thing about salvation , is that it is a gift that God gives.  You know , you can stand around all day trying to hand someone a gift, but if they don't reach out and take it, it can't be a gift, really.  The thing that really stood out to me about the message I heard the other day was the fact that once God gives you salvation,  and you accept the gift that He offers, is He won't take it back.  It's yours!  Yours to keep forever!  But you know what ?  He would never take it away from you.............but you could give it back.  Like all gifts, you could decide you no longer wanted it.  You could say , "Well, I've decided this doesn't really fit..........", and return it.  God made us with free will.  We are not mindless robots, who once receiving His gift, become slaves , as it were, with no choice.    So yes, Salvation is eternal.......but only if you want it.  In this world of instant, free, and cheap, how about a gift that's instant, free and priceless?  God holds out this gift,  won't you reach out and take it?
