Is Air A Free Gift Of God?

It certainly is, however the day man stops working (breathing) to get it, because he thinks it's a free gift from God, is the day the man dies.

That's how ridiculous it is to think that working to get a free gift of God, makes it any less of a free gift of God.

It is a free gift of God because no matter how much man works, man could never afford it if it wasn't made free by God.

All you need is to see someone suffocating because of the lack of air to breathe, to understand how important the free gift of God is, even though you have to work to get it.

So working to get it doesn't make it any less of the free gift of God it is!

The same goes for salvation which is also a free gift of God as the air we breathe.

Salvation is like the "spiritual air" God provided freely to give us eternal life.

While we need the physical air to keep us from physical death, we need Salvation (spiritual air) to prevent spiritual death.

Hence just as it is with the physical air, we need to work to partake of it, despite it being a free gift of God, because the day we stopped working in that regard is the day we die spiritually.

After God breathed the Breath of Life into man in the beginning and man became a living soul, God told man that the day he disobeys His Word, he would die. Genesis 2:16-17

That's the spiritual death we're actually talking about, so the Word of God was that work man needed to keep doing to prevent his spiritual death.

Now this was before man lost his eternal life or died spiritually, yet man had to keep doing the Word of God not to die spiritually according to God.

How much more after man died spiritually due to disobedience of God's Word just as God said he would, hence now deserved spiritual death, but for the free gift which God provided to save him from spiritual death?

If man needed to keep doing the Word of God (working) not to lose his eternal life in the beginning, it means man still needs to keep doing the Word of God not to lose his eternal life even if restored.

Hence why God repeatedly keeps talking about judging every man according to his works instead of His free gift of salvation, because it's through works that man would be able to get and keep His free gift of salvation until eternal life. Jeremiah 17:10, Matthew 16:27, Revelation 2:23; 20:12-13, 22:12

God bless.

The Word of God that man disobeyed in the beginning which made him lose his eternal life is the same Word which God sent to the Earth in the form of man to restore man's eternal life.

John 1:1, 14 (KJV)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:1, 14 (KJV)

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Hence God gave man another chance to keep the Word of God which he disobeyed in the beginning, so that he would no longer perish (die spiritually) but have eternal life.

John 3:16 (KJV)

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.

That is the salvation, which is the free gift God gave to man to save him from the spiritual death he deserves, but man must obey the Word of God to get it and that is works!

God bless.

Interesting.

Thank you Jesus.

Nothing is really free. Ponder deeply on this.

Something must be exchanged. It's simply the way of existence.

Salvation is as the air we breathe.

It is the free gift of God but we must work to partake of it.
