Yes it is a loving Gift from God.. Who provided the Atonement to pay the penalty for our sins.. Sadly a lot of people can't believe this and i mean religious people also when i say they.. They cling on to the belief that they secure their own salvation by doing good deeds and avoidance of sinning..
In doing so they disbelieve in the sufficiency of the Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ to save them and instead rely on their efforts but as the Word of God says::
Isaiah 64: {6} But we are all as an unclean thing, and [b][u]all our righteousness are as filthy rags[/u][/b]; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
Seeking eternity by doing the Law is guaranteeing ones condemnation..
(Romans 3:19-25) "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and [b][u]all the world may become guilty before God[/u][/b]. {20} Therefore [b][u]by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight[/u][/b]: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. {21} But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; {22} Even the [b][u]righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ[/u] unto all and upon all them that believe[/b]: for there is no difference: {23} For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; {24} [b]Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus[/b]: {25} Whom God hath set forth to be [b]a propitiation [u]through faith in his blood[/u][/b], to declare [b]his righteousness for the remission of sins[/b] that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
