Jesus' offer is free and it is the same for everyone.

All forgiven people go to heaven. Not because they are good but because they accept Jesus as a Savior and ask forgiveness.

It's free to us. It cost Jesus His life to attain it for us. It took perfection, sinless, holiness, to qualify as being able to atone for what is sinful, imperfect and unholy. Only God is holy and God can't die. Jesus as God AND man was the only one able to qualify in both areas. And that's just what He did. Jesus, as holy God, and Jesus as a man, suffered and died for our sins. He accepted all sins of all people and paid the price of redemption for them. As mentioned above, it's free but not automatic. Just simply SAYING I believe in Jesus etc. won't grit it done. Like the old phrase "actions speak louder then words" God sees beyond merely words. He knows the heart and actions. He isn't fooled. It takes faith, love, trust too.
Now..we need to accept what He has done for us and try to live a life that reflects it.

I think that it is because that God loves us so much that He's willing to forgive us and let us go back to Him again to have eternal life with Him as long as we accept Him into our lives. It is the same for everyone who is willing to accept Him into their lives. All of us are sinners, and Jesus died on the cross for our sins so that we would be able to go back to our Father. Our salvation is free because Jesus had paid the price for us.
God Bless

..."The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.", we are told in Romans 6:23. It is free; a gift by definition is free. There is nothing we can add to it or do for it.

because that is how much God loves us
John 3:16:
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
It is the same for everyone except those that God puts it on their hearts to be slaves of Christ for the rest of their lives.
For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord's freedman; similarly, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. Brothers, each man, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation God called him to. Corinthians 7:22

Not sure what you're asking, but if Jesus paid for the sins of the entire human race, then yes, it becomes a loving offer -- right up to the dividing line of death. Then it's neither.

I believe that Salvation is not free. We give our lives, souls and bodies to Jesus in order to reach Salvation. But, the CHOICE to do so or not is free. GOD Bless

put some logic in to this,one of the 3 in 1 god dies for the sins of you.
so someone murders my son, rapes my wife oh wait i can kill him , Cos god already forgave us we'll go to heaven. so what people do in there life there is no good and bad to it. you will go to heaven anyway. no! no! no! god does not do things like this. god does godly things, he says Satan is an open enemy to the Adam-kind he will do anything to make you commit sins, and if you sin and realized you have, then he says remember iam most forgiving, this is god.he is the judge of judgment day. not the one who sits on his throne in heaven with two other gods,(Jesus and the holy ghost) i don't say this. your Christianity propose es this, god is one god, he is eternal he cant create another eternal, if you say he can, then the Hindus are better then you they have many gods. he has no need to become a human, if you say he does then the Hindus are again far better then you, because they believe in a chain of god incarnations.

It is free but not automatic. It is free to those that accept Jesus Christ as their savior is baptized in the name of Christ and is born again.

Jesus had to make it FREE. To put a price on it would imply that you or I were able to pay for it. We can't.

If you are referring to Jesus dying for everyone's sins, that is just absurd! Then that would mean everyone is going to Heaven, and anyone can commit any crime and sin in this life. Wouldn't that thought promote violence and bloodcost? So far it has...
