Isaiah 52:3 For thus says the Lord: “You have sold yourselves for nothing, And you shall be redeemed without money.”

We are said to sell ourselves for nothing because we continue to give in to sin all the time; knowing we do wrong but giving in to it just the same.

We may gain in some earthly ways from our sins, but we do not truly gain because of the price we end up paying for what we have done!

God, Christ is not paying money for our souls. He has laid down His life for our spiritual wellbeing and our eternal life. He has paid for this with the blood of the Lamb.

Isaiah 55:1 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.

These are the word of The Lord given to Isaiah to tell the people; it is God who is telling people to come and eat and drink without worrying if it will cost too much.

God wants us all to have access to His Word and to His love without worrying if we have to pay any price for it.

Jesus Christ has paid the price so we may have full and free access to His eternal gift to us all. Nobody is excluded from being given the gift; but we do have to accept it…

Matthew 26:27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

It is interesting to see how different people have translated these words differently; so whether we read we have to drink all of it or all have to drink it, it all must be consumed!

God does not want us to take a bit of the bible and see if it fits in our lives, a bit of the Gospel and see if we agree, a few of the rules as long as they don’t stop us from enjoying life…

God wants us to follow His way of life, His way of living and His rules.

God wants us to make a decision to follow Him and to stick with that decision all the way until we are with Him in Heaven; forever and for always!

Psalm 116:13 I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the Lord.

What has God given us? He has given us Salvation. It is a free gift waiting for us to accept and take in; all we need do is to call on His name as our Saviour!

What is Salvation? It is being saved. Saved from what? God laid down the law in the beginning and we broke it – the penalty for us breaking the law was death.

But Christ paid for that debt we owe by giving His own life in our stead! Thank Him. Ask Him for forgiveness. Accept the most awesome gift of all time right now!
