1 Corinthians 2:12 “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God”.

In the early 1900’s there was a common phrase that is sometimes used today. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch”. The saying meant that “whatever goods and services that were provided, they must be paid for by somebody. That is, you don’t get something for nothing. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch!”.

Maybe that’s why people find 1 Corinthians 2:12 so hard to believe. They wonder, how can anything be free? Especially from God. Don’t we have to earn everything, and do the right thing to get what we need or want from Him? Nope. Healing is free. Health is free. Righteousness is free. Salvation is free. They are gifts from God to every living human being. They were bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus. All we need to do is simply receive all that Jesus bought for us. It’s all free. Enjoy!
