The salvation of God is free to those who
will do what is required to receive it.
To receive the salvation of God,
it will cost you your life.

What does one "do" to receive it?
But as many as received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
(Joh 1:12)

Receive Him not it.

Do you know what the Gospel is? Here let me help.

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
(1Co 15:1-4)

Please quit your work of confusion with your sloppy theology.

Did you give your life to Jesus to receive Him as your Lord and Savior?

If you did, then you gave your life in return for the salvation of God.

What does one "do" to receive Christ?
John 6:27-29 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Galatians 3:1-2 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Receiving Him is a work of God.

So all those that have not received Christ is God's fault for failure in doing that work for them.

And why would Jesus tell them to LABOUR for the meat that endures unto everlasting life?

A. That is your conclusion. He did the work...it's called Calvary.
B. All men are to seek Him.

do we praise God for all the good things we do?

or the good thing HE does in us?

Matthew, Chapter 15, 8: This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Other than lip service, what do you give to God in return for His salvation?
I give Him back what He has given me.

For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?
(1Co 4:7)

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
(1Co 6:19-20)

for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
(Php 2:13)


In the end there is nothing we can give Him as it all belongs to Him.

To receive the salvation of God,
it will cost you your life.
Then the gift of salvation is not free, is that what your saying?

A) God is at fault and blame, that is the consequence of your statement.
B) only those that labour will be given everlasting life

God praises/saves those that does what He says for God works in those that are doing His will.
