       IS FAITH THE GIFT OF GOD? A FEW MORE VERSES

       [Romans 5:16 KJV] "And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so
       is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but
       the free gift [is] of many offences unto justification."
       [Romans 5:17 KJV] "For if by one man's offence death reigned by
       one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the
       gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
       Christ.)"
       [Romans 5:18 KJV] "Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment
       came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness
       of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of
       life."
       Some say that faith is a gift based on this
       verse.......[Ephesians 2:8 KJV] "For by grace are ye saved
       through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of
       God:"
       The verses above say clearly that "the gift of God" is not our
       faith, but that it is God's grace and his gift of righteousness
       and justification (declared righteous). These verses say: the
       FREE GIFT is many offences unto justification; they declare THE
       GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS;  THE FREE GIFT CAME unto justification of
       life.
