For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. You have no promise of tomorrow. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
Salvation is a free gift.
Like any gift it is not yours until you accept it.
