It was a winter season, all the people in England

were in reeling under the onslaught of snowfall

Fruits were rarely available; only at an

exorbitant price

could it be purchased.Once a widow walking through the main street in England reached the frontside of the palace. As she peeped in through the walls, she saw ripe bunches of grapes. It was a rare sight in that season. Due to hunger, she stood staring at the grapes. At that time, the queen who was walking in the palace ground saw the woman. Seeing her face itself, she understood her condition. Soon the queen plucked some bunches of grapes, filling it in a basket, handed it over the walls to her. Her eyes were filled with tears due of joy.

Picking up few pence, she asked the queen: “What does this fruit cost?” “Royal things are not for sale”, the queen responded. “My father is the king of this country. He is too rich to sell something. And you are so poor to buy anything. So, take this freely”

You can see many who are trying to buy salvation at a price. And God’s response to them would be the same as this.

The song of the heaven is none other than “Salvation is the gift of God and of the Lamb”.

Thank You, Lord. Thank You Jesus, for You died, pouring out Your blood and was buried and on the third day rose to life.

‘Salvation of souls is by grace

By faith receive it

It can’t be purchased

That is a gift, a gift, a gift.

 There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.Romans 3:22a-24:
