He Gives Us Things Money Cannot Buy.
“It cannot be purchased for gold, nor can silver be weighed for its price.” Job 28:15 NKJV
When the world call you blessed, they often mean you are financially buoyant. In the view of the majority in the world, with money you can buy anything.
In reality, there are things money can’t buy. This is what makes the difference between a child of God and someone who is only rich financially.
Born again in Christ, you become privileged to receive things that this world has no price tag for. No vendor on earth can source it anywhere in this world.
The ultimate gift ever bequeathed to mankind is God’s Son, Jesus the Christ. He was given to us to be punished in our place of condemnation. Never will the gold of Ophir be weighed enough to purchase the incorruptible, precious blood of Christ.
Along with Him, God has given us even more gifts money can’t buy. Christ became wisdom for us. Wisdom cannot be purchased for gold, neither can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold.
These are unquantifiable gifts that money can not buy.
The overflowing peace we enjoy in Christ surpasses all human understanding, and guess what, no wholesaler can stock it for sale.
There are many, uncountable blessings we have received freely from our benevolent Savior that we would never be able to buy even if we are given a million lifetimes or ages.
Cherish things intangible. Just because you received them for free doesn’t mean they are cheap. God gave them to us because there is not enough resource in the universe that could be weighed for it.
What are other things you have received from God that are priceless? Let me know in the comments. God bless you.
Your in the gospel

Salvation is a GIFT money cannot buy.
Ephesians 2:8-9, “For it is by Grace you have been saved,through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Not by works, so that noone can boast.”.
This verse says you cannot do any good deed or work in order to “earn” your salvation from God. Philanthropic works are good but you cannot expect to attain the God’s gift of salvation through doing those.
HOLY SPIRIT is God’s gift which cannot be traded.
Acts 8:17-20 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
