For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression. That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. (Romans 4:15-17 ESV). Is your inbox filling up with all kinds of “free offers”? Lately, I've been getting some interesting offers in my e-mail. Here are some of them: • "Burn Fat 24 Hours a Day.” I’m not sure that could be legal. If it is, why haven’t I done that before? • "Make Money Giving Away Free Stuff!" Now that one really intrigues me. I have managed a retail business, and I was never able to make money giving away something free! • "Lose Up to 30 lbs In 30 Days in the New Year." This is one of the best. That weight loss would put me back to where I was in 1996! Of course, people would think I was ill just as I was when I weighed that little. • "Confirm 4 Free Air Tickets." This one is great. There are four free tickets, but the handling charges are astronomical! • "Receive A Free Phone." Yes, you can get a free phone, but you must agree to a two-year contract with the phone service to operate it. And you should see that bill! • "Quit Smoking For Good." Don’t ask me how they got my name for this one. I don’t smoke at all. Maybe the email has already worked and I didn’t even know it! • "Clear Away All Past Tax Today!" This one is easy. If you have past due taxes, write a check or go to jail. • "Pick up My Free Photos from some Girl Named Trudy." Funny how this one gets in your inbox. The address isn’t even close, but it gets delivered anyway. Maybe she has me mixed up with some other Don. • "Earn A College Degree Without Leaving my PC." I really need another degree. Would someone e-mail Mary and let her know that I'm working on another college degree, but I'll be in for dinner soon. • This one is the best: I was even told that I could get an "Increase of up to 3 Full Cup Sizes." I’m sure they were talking about my coffee cup since I don’t use anything else that has a “cup size” associated with it. You've probably received some of these same offers. And they don't just come by e-mail. Sometimes they pop-up in places and times when least expected. Life is full of offers you “can't refuse.” Some may be legitimate and worth looking into. Others are just too good to be true. I know of one offer that sounds unbelievable, but it really is the real thing. Paul says in our reading this morning that God’s promise of eternal life is a free gift. That is the real thing. Trust him today with your future. He will not disappoint you!
