Rom 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
1 Corinthians 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
Charizomai is the Greek word for “freely given” found in these two verses.
It carries the following thoughts and ideas.
- To do something pleasant or agreeable to another
- To do a favor or to gratify
- To show oneself gracious, kind, benevolent
- To grant forgiveness, to pardon or to cancel a debt owed
- Graciously restore one another or to reconcile
- To preserve a person from peril or to deliver from destruction
These are just some of the things that we are freely given. We are to
receive by faith what has been “chaizomai”. We cannot earn that which is freely given.
Our Lord Jesus paid the cost that we may freely receive all things from
our Father God.
Please freely received today that your joy may be made full.
Brother John
