As we celebrate Christmas tomorrow, let’s not forget about the reason for Christ’s birth. Christ’s birth was only the beginning of God Himself stepping down from Heaven to rescue sinners headed to a godless eternity in Hell. Christ took upon human flesh so that we might have everlasting life; for without this new life, we were dead in our trespasses and sins. Christ knew that He was coming into a world that would reject Him, curse Him and even murder Him yet He still came. Why? Because of His great love for each of us. A love that no man, woman or child could ever comprehend. The virgin birth was His humble entrance into a sin filled world. His death was the ultimate price paid for your sins, and for my sins. His resurrection was His victory over death and our salvation from sin, eternal damnation, Hell, and a new life in Christ.
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.
John 15: 13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Listen to this song from the Ball Brothers.
Romans 10:9-10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Because of Christ’s birth, death and resurrection (all three must have happened), we can have new life. What a great reason to celebrate and praise the Lord for his wonderful Grace and Mercy. Christ was born once so that we can live again! Do you have new life in Christ? If not but you’d like to, send me an email. Why not receive the greatest gift of all today.
Merry Christmas from Faith of a Father, Faith of a Family, and the Schnarrs
