The Greatest Gift – 12.05.2021
THE GREATEST GIFT!
2 Corinthians 9:15 (KJV)
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (Who does not change like shifting shadows).
1. WHAT IS A GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT FROM GOD?
A gift from God is something good you receive or something good that happens to you, even though you might not deserve it.
“Like this opportunity was a gift from God.” Or “Wow, I never expected this!
Whenever God gives us something, He not only gives it out of His goodness, but He gives it for our good.
When God gives us something, or allows something into our lives that appears to us to be “bad,” we can rest assured that He has designed it for our “good,” and that it is the “perfect” gift.
Romans 8:28 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
2. DOES GOD GIVE US WHAT WE DESERVE?
Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
When we’re at our worst, God continues to give us mercy. It’s not something we deserve or earn, but it’s something we freely receive through Jesus’s blood.
•Some gifts He has promised to us…..
• #1: God Is Always with Me (I Will Not Fear) …
• #2: God Is Always in Control (I Will Not Doubt) …
• #3: God Is Always Absolutely Good (I Will Not Despair) …
• #4: God Is Always Watching (I Will Not Falter) …
• #5: God Is Always Victorious (I Will Not Fail)
Does all good come from God?
The standard conception of God is of a being omni benevolent (all good). Presumably this means that God is morally all good. So whatever moral evils exist in the world must come from humans. Natural evils are bad things that occur due to natural events.
HOW DO I KNOW MY GIFT FROM GOD?
Ask others to let you know and help you discover some of your not-so-obvious gifts.
3. WHAT IS THE GREATEST GIFT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO THE WORLD?
We might say that the greatest gift that has ever been given to humanity is God’s gift of Christ Jesus. God, divine Love itself, loves us so much that He sent Jesus to awaken us to our own pure identity as God’s loved sons and daughters, and show us how to live this identity. This is indeed something to celebrate! Sometimes we don’t see in ourselves what others can see in us. …
What is the greatest gift of God the Father to us?
Because our Heavenly Father loves us, He gives us many gifts. In John 3:16, we read about a most precious gift: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jesus came to earth as a baby born in Bethlehem.
