Rom 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
This Gift of God is given to every sinner Christ died for, for that's why its [eternal life] through Jesus Christ Thats why its called a gift. Now false teachers have corrupted this concept of eternal life being a gift and designate it more as an offer and its up to man to receive it, accept it or make a decision for it. Again that concept is the corruption of man.. Its simply a gift because its given to all for whom Christ died, namely His Sheep or Gods elect. Its the same eternal life Christ particularly stated its given to His Sheep Jn 10:27-28
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
The word give here is didōmi and means:
Bestow means:
to present as a gift; give; confer (usually followed by on or upon ):
Folks the idea here is that the Gift of God isnt a mere offer but something effectually given, bestowed, even a transaction.
