“The Envelope”
Tuesday, July 15, 2025Key Verse
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” Ephesians 2:8
Text — Ephesians 2:7-10
Message
Amsalem was surprised to receive a gift of an envelope one faithful afternoon. He wasn’t expecting any gift from anyone, so he was joyful that someone could remember him. He opened the envelope and found a precious treasure in it, when he tried to sell it the price was far beyond his imagination, that was when he knew that the gift was precious.
The gift of God is precious, packaged in the envelope of the blood of Jesus; salvation is the priceless gift. Just like the envelop given to Amsalem was precious, so also the gift of God is precious. For by grace are ye saved through faith.
Salvation is a free gift from God. That is why you need not delay in repenting of your sins. God has something special for you and does not want you to miss the beautiful home that has been prepared for you. Come as you are, you may be dirty as anything, God will have mercy on you and receive you unto Himself. The special envelope is waiting for you to receive it. All you need do is to repent, confess your sins to God, ask Him to forgive and cleanse your heart with the blood of Jesus.
