Freely you have Received - Freely Give!

This word freely is a simple word and a very powerful word. It describes how God loves us and shares with us His goodness. I am humbled to think that God loves me enough to invest His richest treasure into me, His Son Jesus. When God gave Jesus to the world, He spared no expense. It was His greatest investment and He gave it freely. God charged us no interest or hidden fee. He simply gave His only Son to whoever would believe in Him. I am in awe of the reality and power of this word, freely. God is so good!
The Apostle Paul, author of most of the New Testament of the Bible, said this in 2 Corinthians 4:7 “Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.” This confirmed where God put His treasure, in us. We unearth His treasure by believing in Him.

When I think of the word freely, I picture God with an unusually large grin and a loving look in His eye as He is handing you something very valuable. He is extremely excited for you to receive His gift and it seems as if He can’t wait until you open it. To me, this word expresses a man who is overjoyed in giving and probably has more joy than the receiver. I am so appreciative that God has given to me freely and I am excited to be able to give to others and His work the same way that He has given to me.

I realize that because God has given to me freely, I will never run out of anything from Him to give to others freely also. I am seeing that God is my abundant supplier and I am an employee in His distribution center. He has employed me like He employed His disciples to be free givers of His goods. Being a follower of Jesus is so incredibly exciting.

I love to see how God’s gifts affect other receivers. I love to watch the transformation people go through when they receive something from God. As a pastor for many years, I have had the privilege of seeing lives supernaturally changed by the power of God that He lavishes on those He loves. I am passionately intent on sharing the inspiration I have received from this word freely with all who will listen and receive.

This book was written to help inspire people just like you to receive and appreciate God’s free gift and to become a free gift merchant of God’s love and goodness. Read this revelation and take its information to heart and let God’s Holy Spirit transform you into what He wants you to be. You have joined the “freely” network where great gifts are dispersed from heaven to you to others.
