What is the GREATEST GIFT
Man can give?

Q. What is the greatest gift Man can give?

A. There are many gifts that we can give to others. However, the greatest gift we can give is our love, our time and a part of ourselves. Notice:

"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.  Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:12-13, RSV)

We can lay down our lives for others, literally by dying for others as Jesus Christ did. Or we can do the same by giving them of ourselves and our time, in thinking about them, caring for them and spending time with them. One of the things that older people miss the most is being able to spend time with others. When their children grow up and are gone, this element becomes lacking in their lives, in some more than others.

Virtually every single problem in the world today would be solved if people would simply have love for one another. But that will not happen until Jesus Christ returns to this earth in all power and glory to take over the reins of government and begins to teach people how to love God and how to love one another, which is the keeping of the two great commandments (Matthew 22:36-40). We live in a world filled with hate, which is the direct result of the one whole currently rules this world, Satan the devil, the god of this world (2Corinthians 4:4).

Another great gift we can give people is the God’s truth from the Bible (John 17:17) and the truth about the One, True God of Israel, which is not the God that professing Christianity worships. Notice:

"Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."" (John 8:31-32, Revised Standard Version)

The world today in general is not free but in bondage to Satan’s system and the world that man has built, because mankind rejected God as ruler over them in the Garden of Eden and thus accepted Satan as their god and ruler. Since then, mankind has gone its own way and has in general been cut off from God and from salvation.

But once God calls someone to salvation and opens their mind to the truth of His Word and His thoughts, that person will become free and begin to start thinking like God does. Once you make a commitment to live God’s way of life, you will begin to develop the spiritual gifts or fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). You will also start to understand many of the mysteries of life that are hidden from most human beings, such as:

The most important gifts we can give to others in this life are not the physical ones, but rather the ones that make a long-lasting effect on the lives of others around us. The gifts we can develop and give to others, of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, are the ones that will last for eternity:

"There are three things that will endure-- faith, hope, and love-- and the greatest of these is love." (1Corinthians 13:13, New Living Translation)
