Christmas

For those of us who believe that Jesus is the Christ of God

This is the time of year that we celebrate His birth.

The date of December 25 was established by the early church

In approximately the early 4^th century.

Christ Jesus is the greatest person who ever lived.

No single person changed the world as He did.

Of the approximately 7 billion people on earth today,

More than 2 billion claim the name of Christ Jesus.

We celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus

Because without His coming this life would be hopeless.

After the “fall” of Adam and Eve every person is born with a sin nature;

With a natural propensity to sin and all sin is against God.

Because of this there was no WAY to Eternal LIFE with God.

ALL men were condemned to Eternal Death; to Hell; to the Lake of Fire

Created by God for Satan and his fallen angels.

Christ Jesus, God in flesh, came to earth

To proved a sacrifice acceptable to God for ALL the sins of ALL mankind.

The justice of God required

That without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.

The only acceptable, God required sacrifice,

Is the Precious Blood of Christ Jesus;

The only sinless person who ever lived; fully God and fully man.

Only the sinless blood of Christ, is able to wash away sin,

And only for those who believe that Jesus is the Christ of God;

The Messiah, The Anointed One, foretold by Scripture;

Belief in Christ is defined by Christ Jesus Himself:

Those who love Christ with all their heart, mind, soul and strength;

Those who have given up their life in this life for the LIFE of Christ

[Matthew 10:37-39];

Those with enough oil of the Holy Spirit

To receive Christ when He comes again [Mathew 25:1-13];

Those who maintain their First Love for Christ [Revelation 2];

Those who Overcome the evil one

By the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony

Not loving this life so much as to shrink from death [Revelation 12:11];

Those who have ears to here what the Spirit of God speaks in this hour

[Read the Seven Letters to the Seven Churches].

No person comes to God the Father but through Christ Jesus. (John 14:6)

Christ Jesus is the only WAY to God the Father.

There is no other WAY, given by God, among mankind to be saved.

(Acts 4:12)

Those of us who believe that Jesus is the Christ of God;

Who know Him and live for him,

Exult in this Celebration of His birth.

For us, He has provided Eternal LIFE in the here and now and FOREVER.

We exult in The Great Mystery of God: Christ in us our hope of Glory

[Colossians 1:27]

We have sought the first and above all else The Kingdom of God and found it.

We worship God in Spirit and in TRUTH;

We pray for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done

On earth as in Heaven;

We know that He is coming again, SOON!

When He comes, He will set up His Kingdom in Jerusalem,

On Mount Zion for a thousand years;

He will do away with ALL the kingdoms of this world; the kingdom of Satan.

Satan will be bound for a thousand years

And then be sent to the Lake of Fire along with all who followed him

Which is most of humanity.

Christmas is the time

That punctuates the reality of God and His Christ Jesus!

Of God's plan and purpose for “TIME;” To save ALL who will be saved;

Christmas brings forth the reality of Heaven and Hell;

Of LIFE with Christ and the Eternal Death for those who reject Him.

God, purposefully uses Christmas, to bring ALL this to consciousness;

To the front of most peoples minds.

And EVERYONE then makes their CHOICE!

Oh, the Magnificent GRACE of God Who is LOVE;

Infinitely wise, Infinitely powerful, ALL seeing, ALL knowing, Omnipresent.
