And So This Is Christmas-The Gift

It's christmas time. This is a tradition that people celebrate because of the birth of Jesus Christ. But who is Jesus Christ? Do we really know Him? Who is He to you? Why as a baby He wants to be killed by  King Herod? In christmas traditions, men  give gifts to their loved ones. Yes 'loved ones'. But have you ever thought that Jesus gave a gift to people who are not loveable in our own standards like murderers, thief, malicious thoughts, liars,etc. yes also liars.

Men acquired  sin because of the disobedience of our first parent, Adam & Eve. and because of that disobedience the curse of being sinful in nature has been brought to people generation after generation. For it says in

Romans 3:
20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of  God

Psalm 14:
3 All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.


People in the olden times were forgiven through intercession of the prophets who offered the best sacrifice like lambs and other livestock ask by God from the prophets, in the days of Noah , Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua  and other prophets of God.

But through Jesus, with the love of God that He gave to the world, the Son of God was slain in the cross of calvary so that we may have life. Not just a physical life that we see here today but a life that we will share with Jesus in God's Kingdom, free of all the burdens that this present world brings. And in Jesus, being the Lamb of God, the full sacrifice was done so that the shedding of His blood on the cross was meant to cleanse each one sin, to those who will BELEIVE in Jesus name and the sacrifice He made in calvary.  

The Greatest Gift 

John 3:16
 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever BELIEVES in him shall not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE.

Ephesians 2
 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God

How will we accept the GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE God is offering?

Understanding the Gift.

Some people don't really know or in self denial what what is in store for them when they die. But deep inside there is a fear in them , in their consciousness regarding the certainty where their soul will be after their term here on earth finishes.

Our God did not just create  our first parent, Adam & Eve, to bear children just  to live and die physically and to worry & have that fear when the time comes of our physical death.

Yes some say enjoy life and be merry for tomorrow we die. Yes, but there is still that question where we go after.

Even suicidal people are afraid. They commit suicide not because they are brave to face death but there is fear in them that led them to commit the ungodly thing w/c bring forth destruction in their relationship with the Holy God.

Fear that is not from God is Sin, And in nature, men are sinful and the wages of sin is death.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, ....(this is not just any death, for in the nature of men, be he bad or good,  living here in earth will die physically. The death that is being mentioned here is spiritual death where our soul will suffer the eternal punishment  in hell for those who did not believe in that One Holy Sacrifice Of  God)
...but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE in CHRIST JESUS our Lord.( So there it is. Again the Gift.
And the Gift is Eternal Life in Jesus Christ)
If you are accepting God's Gift of Eternal Life , believe in Jesus , receive Jesus as your personal Saviour & Master in all areas of your life. Yes. All. Repent. Surrender all of your sin and all weaknesses that Jesus wash it by His blood. Pray to Him. Talk to Him. You and God alone are in contact with each other.He knows what is in your heart if you really do want to be a part of His body.

Acts 2:38
 38 Peter replied, “REPENT and be BAPTIZED, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the GIFT of the HOLY SPIRIT.  (The GIFT of the HOLY SPIRIT of Jesus Christ is Eternal Life)

Mark 16:15-16

15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
16 Whoever BELIEVES and is BAPTIZED  will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
After accepting truly that Gift,  the Holy Spirit w/c guides us to the way of God's  salvation will counsel us to His truth of righteousness.

John 14
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another COUNSELOR (Isaiah 9:6) to help you and be with you forever— 
17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

Note:
True Belief is  in  thought, in words and in deeds asking for the  Holy Spirit 's help in Jesus Christ  name.

Let us have in our hearts the true meaning of Christmas if Jesus is really the reason for this season and not just a means to fill in our stomach and glorify our self  by our selfrighteous actions. Nothing can be compared to the gift that God through Jesus is offering mankind. The Gift of Eternal Life.
