For
God so love the world that He GAVE His One and only Son,
That
whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting LIFE.
For
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
But
to save the world through Him.
Whoever
believes in Him is not condemned,
But
whoever does not believe stands condemned already
Because
he has not believed in the Name of God's One and only son.
This
is the VERDICT: Light has come into the world,
But
men love darkness instead of Light because their deeds were EVIL.
Everyone
who does EVIL hates the light, and will not come into the Light
For
fear that his deeds will be exposed.
But
whoever lives by the TRUTH comes into the Light,
So
that it may be seen plainly
That
what he has done has been done through God. (John 3:16-21)
Christ
Jesus is the greatest GIFT ever given.
All
the gifts ever given in all the Christmases ever celebrated
Cannot
compare to the GIFT of Christ.
Apart
from Christ, everything in this world is destined to PERISH.
Apart from Christ, all
who ever lived have PERISHED;
They exist in a state
of Eternal Damnation; Eternal Torment.
They were given a
natural life but refused the Christ of God.
We
were all born condemned before the Living God.
That is why God sent
His One and only Son; the Greatest GIFT ever given.
Christ
Jesus is the only WAY out of this condemned state of being;
Christ
is the only Eternal GIFT; the only hope of Glory.
It
is Christ in us our hope of Glory and nothing else. (Colossians 1:27)
Christ
Jesus said:
I
tell you the TRUTH, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit,
He
cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
Flesh
give birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
You
should not be surprised at My saying,
You
must be BORN AGAIN.
The
wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound,
But
you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
So
it is with everyone Born of the Spirit. (John 3:5-8)
Receiving
the GIFT of God; Being BORN AGAIN is a Great Mystery.
A
Mystery kept hidden from every generation until Christ came.
(Colossians
1:26)
A
Mystery kept hidden from all who do not believe today.
Yet,
ALL who seek God find His Christ Jesus,
When
they seek Him with all their heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)
The
wind of God's Spirit blows through the lives of every person
But
not every person responds.
Christ
Jesus told His disciples:
'The
knowledge of the Secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven
Has
been given to you, But not to them
[Those
who did not seek God with all their hearts]
Whoever
has will be given more, and he will have an abundance.
Whoever,
does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
This
is why I speak to them in parables:
Though
seeing, they do not see; though hearing,
They
do not hear or understand.
In
them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
You
will be ever hearing but never understanding;
You
will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For
this people's heart has become calloused;
They
hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise
they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears,
Understand
with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'
(Matthew
13:11-15)
This
Christmas we who have received this Greatest of GIFTS;
The
GIFT of Christ living within us, our hope of Glory;
The
GIFT of Eternal LIFE in Christ; Give thanks to God.
This
GIFT cost God the most He could give, His One and only Son.
To
receive this GIFT, we have given to God all we have to give;
Our
very lives.
We
have been crucified with Christ to this world, and no longer live
But
it is Christ who lives in us.
This
LIFE we now live we live by faith in the Son of God
And
His power at work in us.
We
have set our hearts on things above;
Our
life is hidden with Christ in God;
We
have clothed ourselves with the garments of Christ
And
let His Word dwell richly in us. Hallelujah!
Soon,
we will meet Him in the air and we will be like Him
Because
we will see Him as He is. (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom
come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
