Your
Charisma

Gift!

TO:

-WhoWsioll ever

ear friend, in this season of giving and receiving
gifts, will you pause with me for just a moment
and consider God’s “Charisma Gift” to you? Charisma
is the root, or original word, for our word gift.
Charisma means free gift. “For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift (charisma) of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord. For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should
boast. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”
(Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; 2 Corinthians 9:15)
God’s charisma gift to you is salvation and eternal life
through faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord.

Let us notice three things about a gift:

1. You cannot earn a gift. “For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
(Ephesians 2:8-9)

2. You need not deserve a gift. When a person gives
someone a gift, it is an act of love. “For God so loved
the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

3. You must receive a gift. “He (Jesus Christ) came
unto his own, and his own received him not. But as
many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on
his name:” (John 1:11-12)

Here is how to receive God’s charisma gift:

1. First, you must know that you need God’s gift. You
must see and admit that you are a lost sinner in need
of forgiveness, and of everlasting life. This is true of
you. The Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23) Yes, my
friend, you have sinned and come short of the glory
of God.

2. Next, you must realize God’s punishment because of
your sins! The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death;”
(Romans 6:23a) Death in your sin means eternal
separation from God in hell! Think about it. If you were
to die right now, where would your eternal soul go?

3. Now, you must give up all hope of saving yourself.
You do not have the strength or ability to save
yourself! The Bible says, “For when we were yet
without strength, in due time Christ died for the
ungodly.” (Romans 5:6)

4. Now you must believe that Jesus Christ died for
your sins and rose from the grave. You must believe
that God loves you and gave Jesus Christ for your
sins! “But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
(Romans 5:8)

5. Finally, you must confess that you are a sinner and
call on Jesus Christ to save you. You must repent of
your sins and receive Christ as your Saviour. “But
what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy
mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith,
which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with

thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved.” (Romans 10:8-9)

If you are ready to receive God’s charisma gift,
here is a model sinner’s prayer right from the Word
of God. (Pray this prayer with your mouth and believe
it with your heart.) “God be merciful to me a sinner.”
and save me in Jesus’ name. Amen. (Luke 18:13b)

If you prayed from the heart, this is what God says,
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) If you just prayed
and were saved, pause for a moment to thank Jesus
Christ for saving you!

GOD BLESS YOU!
MERRY CHARISMA and a HAPPY NEW LIFE!
