Today Shimadzu didn't come again and the star is getting worried.
Also I talked to her and she says it's nothing. I'll believe her.
Anyway I've been thinking about this for a while. I think I have posted this before but I have some modifications so I want to post it again. This is why this post is tagged under "question."
--------------------------------------------------
Is salvation free?
No. Why would it be?
Because Christ paid for it-
Exactly. Christ paid for it, so how could it be free? The price of salvation is the blood of Christ. It is a free gift, yes, but it is the most expensive gift you can ever have. And to trample on it is the worst thing you could ever do. For even if you suffered in hell for all eternity you would never be able to pay for that moment when the Father turned His back on His Son.
What do you mean to trample on God's gift?
If I gave you flowers and you put it on the ground and trampled on it, wouldn't that be rude? In the same way, if we receive the gift and then only later to turn our back on it then there is no longer any sacrifice left for us. If you were a doctor and I gave you a new stethoscope, and you said "Thank you! Let me pay for it," and gave me twenty pesos, wouldn't that be rude? In the same way, if we try to earn our salvation or our right to enter God's presence using our measly good works then it would be the same as rejecting the gift altogether. If I gave you a P1000-peso bill and you used it as a tissue paper saying "It's fine, it's free anyway," wouldn't that be rude? In the same way if we use the freedom Christ bought for us as a license to sin then it would be the same as rejecting the gift altogether.

That's pretty much it. I think it's a nice analogy.
