The best gifts are the ones given with thought behind them—the ones where it’s clear the person giving the gift knows the recipient well. Did you know that the greatest gift of your life has already been given, and that it came at the highest cost?

The Bible tells us that “the wages of sin is death,” but God in His love for us gave us a solution: Christ died so that we could be forgiven. That ultimate sacrifice can be ours free of charge. And it’s available to everyone, no matter what we’ve done or how undeserving we may feel. Don’t miss this brand-new episode at awr.org/countdown!

If you have a prayer request or would like to to study your Bible with us, visit us at awr.org/countdown and we’d love to hear from you.
