When was the last time you gave a gift to a loved one expecting a payment in return? Probably never because if you receive payment for a gift, it ceases to be a gift!

A gift as something we give voluntarily to another person without expecting compensation. We give Christmas gifts to show our love. We find out what would make our friends or family members happy and take time to shop for the right presents. And the smiles on our loved ones' faces makes the effort and money spent worth it!

Likewise, God’s gift of salvation has been freely given. We can’t earn it and He doesn’t expect payment for it. God wrapped His indescribable gift in eternity, equality, deity, and humility. Open it today!

John 1:1–5, 14; 2 Corinthians 9:15
