MANY professed Christians to-day have an idea that they must by some act on their part earn the eternal reward. It is by this deception that Satan leads many into doubt and discouragement. Eternal life is not earned; it is the gift of God through Jesus Christ. By nothing that we can do will we merit the favor of God. We can only reach out by faith and take from Him the blessings that He stands ready to bestow. To Jesus Christ belongs all credit for the blessings we enjoy in this world and for all the fulness of blessings we shall enjoy in the world to come.
