The most famous Bible verse in modern times is John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The Bible teaches that salvation is the gift of God; it is not something we can earn by the merit of our own good works, but something that is freely received simply by faith in Jesus Christ.
There are occasions in life when certain gifts are required that surpass the average, commercial trinket, such as for a baptism, a religious confirmation, a wedding anniversary, a milestone birthday or the many special occasions that we are blessed to partake in. Jesus also said, “It is more blessed to give then to receive.” In the spirit of giving, it is the gift of the cross that holds spiritual significance for people of faith. You can shop for flowers, chocolate, clothing or even jewelry, but few things are more spiritually significant than womens gold cross pendants, if you are shopping for a woman of faith. Such gifts speak of not only of timeless truth, but are literally the gift of the cross itself, but in beautiful precious metals like gold or sterling silver.
Are there other gifts that are more suitable for Christian women? I would suggest the Holy Bible itself. Some men and women can’t afford jewelry or more expensive items like women’s solid gold crosses, but you can find print Bibles nowadays for fairly cheap, unless you are looking for a genuine leather Bible which comes with a premium, making them items that can be passed down through the generations and can withstand a good dose of wear and tear. Other Christian gifts for women of God can include personal items, like family photos or celebratory moments in a woman’s life, such as a water baptism, a wedding ceremony or a milestone birthday like a 50th wedding anniversary. Creating gifts around unique moment’s in a person’s life is the crucial key to purchasing something that will bring deep meaning and significance to one female in your life that love. Yes, you can shop in person or online for basic, transitory items that will often be soon forgotten or discarded, but how often can you secure something so personal and meaningful in a woman’s eyes, such an heirloom quality jewelry piece, like a women’s solid gold cross or a wedding album commemorating a bride and groom’s commitment to lifelong marriage or maybe photos of her precious children or really any item that brings immaterial, spiritual value rather than material.
But as for me and my house? I return to the gift of the cross for the Christian woman. There is nothing more spiritually significant with deep, intrinsic religious symbolism and value than the cross on which the Savior died—and which acts as a beautifully aesthetic, outward display to the lost world of an inward faith that can never be extinguished or lost. It is the gift of the cross that reminds us that we belong to God through His Son Jesus Christ for all eternity. Consider that James the Apostle said in James 1:17: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above …” What speaks volumes of God’s free gift of eternal salvation than the gift of the cross?
