The Gifts Of
God
I Timothy 6:17
It is the character of
God to give. He "giveth us richly all things to enjoy." Here are nine
things God has given to every sinner who trusts the Lord Jesus Christ alone as
his all-sufficient Lord and Savior.
1. GOD HAS GIVEN US HIS DEAR SON! "Unto us a Son is
given" (Isa. 9:6). "Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift"
(II Cor.
2. GOD HAS GIVEN US HIS SPIRIT. Every believer has the spirit of
God dwelling within. He is the Comforter Christ sends to his redeemed ones
(Gal.
3. GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE (Rom.
4. GOD HAS GIVEN
5. GOD HAS GIVEN
6. GOD HAS GIVEN
7. GOD HAS GIVEN
8. GOD HAS GIVEN US ALL THINGS. If you are in Christ, all things
in providence, all things in grace, and all things in creation are yours to
enjoy (I Cor. 3:21; I Tim. 6:17; 4:4-5).
9. GOD HAS GIVEN US EVERLASTING, HEAVENLY GLORY. Our works have
nothing to do with our eternal bliss in heaven. All that heaven is, all that it
promises and affords, all its fulness, glory and happiness is the gift of God,
freely bestowed upon every saved sinner through the merits of Christ (Rom.
8:17, Eph. 1:11).
