In this passage, the Lord is arguing from the lesser to the greater, from the imperfect to the perfect. IF a fallen human parent, who has a sin nature is capable of showing love, care, and consideration to their child who asks them for something, how much more will our holy, Heavenly Father Who loves us with an everlasting love, bestow His gifts and graces on His blood-bought children? Throughout the Word of God, we are reminded of His great love toward us; a never-failing love that passes human comprehension. Initially, we read that He loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son to become the sacrifice for our sin. But once saved by grace through faith in Him, we are reminded of the great love the Father has lavished on each of us, that we should be called children of God. Just as a child trusts his parents to give him good things, so those of us who are God's children have to Trust Our Heavenly Father to give good things to us. How often do we forget to ask Him? How frequently do we tire of asking, when the answer seems long in coming? We KNOW that all good and perfect things come to us from our Father Who loves and cares for each one of us with an everlasting love. Let us not listen to the lies of the enemy, but prove our faith in HIM and stand fast on the word of TRUTH, by asking God for all we need and expecting Him to answer. Matthew 7:11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!  Our United Prayer:
Lord, how privileged we are that You are our Heavenly Father Who loves each one of Your children with an everlasting love and provides all we need, according to Your riches in glory. Thank You that You loved us enough to send Jesus to die for our sins, and that You delight to give good gifts to Your children. Lord, we know too often we have tried to provide for our own needs without asking You, or we have lost faith and stopped seeking You when an answer is delayed. We realize how this must sadden Your heart. Thank You that You have provided over and above all that we could ask or think, not only in this world but in the ages to come. This we Pray in Jesus' name, AMEN.

A Gift for which payment must be made is not a gift. It is a purchase, an acquisition, needing to be paid for, needing to be bought with a price. A gift is something that is given freely, given without any strings attached, otherwise it cannot be called a gift. Christ Jesus was God's free gift of grace to every member of the human race. A gift that is not accepted is still a gift. Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was God's free, indescribable, inestimable gift of grace that was given freely to every man and woman without any strings attached. Some accept this unspeakably precious gift and others reject it, but the gift of God to humanity, which is too wonderful for words, was nonetheless given to ALL. Simply accepting this Unspeakably Precious Gift From God (which we do by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, the only begotten Son of God), causes a whole host of other amazing things to be showered without limit upon the blessed recipient. The moment God's gift of grace is accepted, He opens the floodgates of the riches of His grace over the blessed beneficiary. Simply rejecting this unspeakably precious gift from God (which happens when people refusing to accept and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God), results in everlasting condemnation and spiritual death. While-ever there is life, the unspeakably precious gift from God is still available to whosoever will accept God's indescribable gift - His only begotten Son. 2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!  Our United Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for the unspeakably precious gift of Your dear Son, Jesus Christ Who has been freely given to us and to all who will simply believe on His name. Father, the gift of Your only begotten Son is beyond all expression, beyond all measure, and beyond all bounds. We fall on our knees and worship You for Your unspeakably precious gift to us. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |
