The document discusses several spiritual gifts that God has given freely to humanity, including living water, bread of life, eternal life, salvation, and Jesus Christ. It emphasizes that these gifts, such as forgiveness of sins and everlasting life, are not of our own doing but are given by God's grace through faith in Jesus. The concluding section encourages remembering that the best gifts come from God when opening presents.

seen strange things today!"

2. Living Water




you knew the gift of God, and who it is who
says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have
asked Him, and He would have given you living
water."

the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride

3. Bread of Life

John 6:32 Then Jesus said to them, "Most
assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you
the bread from heaven, but My Father gives
you the true bread from heaven.
John 6:48 I am the bread of life.
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came
down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread,
he will live forever; and the bread that I shall
give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of
the world."

4. Eternal Life


1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has
given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
Romans 5:15-16 15 But the free gift is not like the
offense. For if by the one man's offense many died,
much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace
of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16
And the gift is not like that which came through the
one who sinned. For the judgment which came from
one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift
which came from many offenses resulted in
justification.

5. Eternal Life


Romans 6:22-23 22 But now having been set
free from sin, and having become slaves of
God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the
end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I
will give you the crown of life.

6. Eternal Life

2 Timothy 4:6-8 6 For I am already being
poured out as a drink offering, and the time of
my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought the
good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept
the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the
crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day,
and not to me only but also to all who have
loved His appearing.

shall be called by a new name, Which the
mouth of the Lord will name.

8. Name

have been saved through faith, and that
not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9

For we are His workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand that we should walk
in them.

10. Jesus Christ

John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the

through Him might be saved.
