The Forty Free Gifts From God

 The second gift is when the believer receives redemption (or is redeemed) whereby he is purchased by Jesus Christ from the slave market of sin (Rom. 3:24; Col. 1:14; I Pet. 1:18)
 The third gift when the new believer becomes a “new creature in Christ” [he/she is created a “new spiritual species” (II Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph. 2:10).
 The fourth gift is when the believer is reconciled to God (The sin barrier which existed from eternity past has since Adam remained an impenetrable barrier between man and God. There is and never has been any way that man by his efforts could get over, break through or in any way circumvent this barrier. It took God’s perfect plan to provide a means for man to access God. Therefore, man is:  (a) reconciled to God (Rom. 5:10; II Cor. 5:20; Eph. 2:14-17) (b) reconciled by God (II Cor. 5:18-19; Col. 1:20)
 The fifth gift is when the believer is justified, declared righteous (Rom. 3:24; 5:1, 9; 8:30; I Cor. 6:11; Phil. 3:9)
