God’s Gift
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God” - Ephesians 2v8 [ESV]

What’s the best gift you’ve ever been given? Gifts are great because they’re free and are normally really special. Sometimes we don’t even deserve them! If someone gives you a gift, it’s normally cost them something, but it doesn’t cost you anything.

The Bible calls this grace! Grace is God being kind even when you don’t deserve it! Just think how kind God has been to you! He’s given you life, and loads of stuff to help you enjoy it too.

But the best gift that God’s ever given is Jesus! Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead to give you forgiveness, a fresh start and a friendship with God! He can save you which is awesome because you can’t save yourself!

God’s forgiveness is a free gift! You can’t earn it and you don’t deserve it, but all you need to do is to accept it!
