For by grace are
ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
Not of works,
lest any man should boast.
I read a story about a poor woman who went to the king’s gardener to buy grapes for her sick child. Now, as she tried to purchase the grapes, the gardener deliberately ignored her. She cried and begged but she was just reprimanded for doing so. It just so happened that the king’s daughter heard the rude reprimand by the gardener so the princess approached and asked the poor woman what had happened. The poor woman told her the story of her sick child and the princess said, “Lady, you don’t understand. My father is not a merchant, but a king; his business is not to sell, but to give.” The woman received the grapes she’d desired for free. In the same way, Heaven is not for sale, anyone can go there free of charge because Jesus paid your way to heaven by His death.
