I wish a heartfelt Merry Christmas to @everyone here. I love all of you, even those who I don't particularly like. More importantly, your Creator loves you. He loves you so much that...well...that's what the story of Christmas is!
He loves you so much that He sacrificed His Son to save you. As an angel told Joseph in Matthew 1:21, "She will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." Yes, that is the birth story. Jesus was born to die. For us. And He died a cruel, torturous death for you.
Save? Anyone who needs to be saved must be in danger, right? You are. The wages of sin is death. Eternal death. Worse, eternal punishment. That is what we deserve as sinners. All of us. We are sinners by nature. But why didn't God make us to be perfect non-sinners? Because most of all, God wants our love. True love cannot be automatic. It must come from people who are given total free will. If you truly love your Creator, you do so by choice. You try to live as an obedient Christian. That is what He wants from us.
Many believe they can just be good people to get to heaven. You can't. You are not good. You are a sinner. You cannot "good" your way to heaven. In Ephesians 2:8 we are told, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." Salvation is a gift from a merciful God. Like with any gift, you can choose to accept the gift or decline it. Which have you chosen?
For you fellow believers, I implore you to dedicate yourselves to Jesus. Avoid the pitfalls of being a Sunday 10:00 AM Christian.
For you non-believers, I will continue to pray for your salvation. I pray that your eyes will be opened and your hearts will be softened. Your life may seem long, but it is merely a grain of sand compared to eternity. Less than a grain of sand. If you die tomorrow, what do you think happens to you a second after death? Nothing? You are wrong. If any of you are interested in exploring the truth, please reach out. I would love to celebrate eternity with you.
Merry Christmas. God in human form came in the most vulnerable form possible. A baby. He then fulfilled countless prophecies, taught His followers so that the early church could be formed, and then suffered and died to be the sacrificial lamb for your sins. There is so much more, but you need to decide to seek the truth. Please do so.
There is the most precious and eternal gift waiting for you. Will you accept it? It is NEVER too late to accept the gift. Until it is too late!
Merry Christmas! All praise to our Savior Jesus Christ.
