God’s gift of salvation is offered freely to all who will receive it. God created each one of us with a unique set of talents and traits that can be employed for His service as He wills. No person is without merit in His eyes; all are worthy of salvation. Equally so, there is no inherent “goodness” in any person that warrants his or her salvation. No person has the prerogative to stand before God Almighty and say, “I deserve to be saved.” Rather, we each must confess, “I need to be saved.” Romans
