Romans 6:23 which says:
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus "Christ our Lord."
Salvation is
a gift to receive
not
a goal to achieve
Gift --something that is voluntarily transferred by one person to another without compensation. It must be accepted --voluntarily received-- not forced on the recipient. Voluntarily given and voluntarily received
If you go to hell, you pay your own way; but you go to Heaven on a pass. John R. Rice
A note near
Jeremiah 31
The New Covenant is a "gift certificate" for salvation.
The merchandise is not free.
Someone paid the price.
We just go to the store and claim the purchased item.
