I saw this analogy in my mind: someone making a precious piece of handicraft with the best materials, paying for it, and wrapping it up beautifully in wrapping paper. He then gives it to you.
Where is your part in preparing this gift? There is none. You just received the gift for free.
Likewise, our salvation was planned by God the Father, paid for by Jesus at the cross, and adorned with an excess of blessings on top of that.
We didn’t and can’t play any part in earning our forgiveness of sins. There is a reason that it is called “the gift of righteousness”.
“For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17 WEB)
We simply receive it free of charge by believing in Jesus.
Jesus is both the Offerer and the Sacrifice required for our salvation. Nothing will ever change that!
