it is free!
Do you know that the greatest possession in life is free? You can be guaranteed a free trip to heaven to live with God forever after you depart from this earth. It doesn't require gold, silver or precious stones. You might ask, "Well, what do I have to do?" The answer is nothing. You don't need to stop doing anything: you don't need to stop going to the Buddhist temple; you don't need to stop drinking etc. Also, you don't need to start doing anything: you don't need to try to be good or attend a Christian Church to be saved. A gift is a gift, and a gift is free.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith and this [salvation] is not from yourselves; it is a gift from God, not from works lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8, 9)
It is free for all members of the human race since Christ paid the price for you. 1 Peter 2:24a states:
"And he [Jesus Christ] himself carried our sins on his body [on the cross]."
How can one receive this gift? Do you have to go to the nearest department store to pick it up? No, it is much closer than that. Salvation is in your thinking. If you truly believe that Christ is the Savior, just use your soul to express your faith in him: "Heavenly Father, I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior." After praying that simple prayer, you will live with God forever.
"He saved us [provides a free ticket to heaven] not on the basis of deeds which we have done in [human] righteousness, but according to his loving kindness [from his loving kindness, he offers you this gift]" (Titus 3:5a).
