Christmas Greetings (#198)
Bible version used: KJV
Fear Not
You have fears? Troubles? Perplexities? I have a message for you! Don’t be afraid - not of the distressing things in this life nor of death and eternity. I’ve sent my Son to establish the way to heaven.
Joy
I bring you good tidings of great joy! The other Christmas greetings may wish you merry times in poetic phrases, but I send you the most wonderful news you will ever hear. People waited centuries to hear it, and ever since it has been the hope of humanity.
No wonder that Christmas time is a time of joy, goodwill, carols, gifts...
A Savior
This good news is that My Son is come– One who can save you from your present state of sin and separation from Me and from an eternal state of separation and punishment. My Son came willingly to atone for the sins of the world. He truly is a Saviour!
Unto You
You– whom I created perfect. You had true life and liberty. But you used your liberty to rebel against Me. Sorrow and sin and death became yours.
Yet I love you! Unto you a Saviour came. Will you come back to me through faith in Him? Then the ‘fear not’ and the ‘joy’ are yours.
I am a God of love:
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God,
but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. –1 John 4:9,10
I invite you to come:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. –Isaiah 55:7
I will then make you My sons:
But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. –Galatians 4:4,5
