Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Romans 10:13)
Just like all of his birthdays since we have lived in Knoxville, Elliott once again got to milk his fifth birthday over an extended period of time this year. To start the month of June off, we took a family vacation to Disney World. On the weekend of his birthday, we took Elliott and one of his buddies to play putt-putt and have ice cream. Finally, this week, another set of grandparents came to visit and brought him the rest of his birthday bounty. Despite all of celebration and the numerous gifts he has received, Elliott still has some expectation of receiving a gift each time he sees another family member or friend.
To some extent, we are all childish with the gifts we expect to receive, but there is one gift that is given freely to each one of us-the perfect gift-the gift of God's grace.
There is nothing you need to do to receive this gift other than calling the name of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and accepting that His death on the cross is that which saves you from sin.
If you haven't accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, what are you waiting for?
