He gave us His gift

 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph.2:8

Many gifts are given at the Christmas Season.  And yet God's gift to this world is His dear son. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so God gave us this GIFT for three reasons.

First, He gave us His gift because of the LAW. Of course, I am talking about the Ten commandments.  It was placed on stone tablets, and they are stone cold and clear. It was never intended to redeem man, only to show / teach us where we have come short. The law was weak in that, it could not save.  see Romans 8:3,
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. 

So man realized, from the law, he had come short and could not do anything about it to justify himself. So because of the law, God provided to way, a gift.

Secondly, He gave us a gift because of His LOVE. But God commendeth (demonstrated) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 5:8-9 

God demonstrated His love to us. I will give them a way out and He did so through the Lord Jesus Christ.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Eph. 2:4

Thirdly, He gave us a gift because of Life, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
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. John 3:16

God wanted us to have a good life while we are on this earth. We can if we follow Christ's  words, wisdom and ways. Our past life can be forgiven, our present life can be following Him and our future is eternity with Him.

But dear friend, will you give yourself to the Lord?? God gave you a gift, because of the law, His great Love and Life that you can have, just by calling on His name, calling on the only Begotten son, Jesus, the gift of God to you. For whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved.

May God Bless you,
