This subject is about the truth behind the nativity scene.
Jesus was born on Christmas for one reason. He would die for all sins and offer human beings the gift of eternal life. The death of Jesus allows all to be restored to God.
What is the value of Jesus?
Jesus despises religion. He wants a personal and embracing relationship without the requirements of keeping laws, doing works to appease Him or immersing yourself in religion.
Jesus is alive and wants be in all the moments of your life. He does this by the work of the Holy Spirit. If you are a believer God has sealed you with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ and the source of all the attributes of Jesus. He gives you the mind of Christ and the ability to hear His voice
The blood of Christ covers all your sins so you can stand blameless before God. The Holy Spirit convicts you of sin and the need for correction.
The Christ follower is not immune from the trials of life. In fact, you might encounter more difficulties than a non believer.
There is no guarantee of good times but there is a promise of living with Jesus forever.
The gift of salvation entitles you to the love, joy peace, strength, wisdom and protection of Jesus without limitations.
Jesus is a healing God. The miracles of healing did not stop in the Bible. They are taking place today all over the world.
Salvation allows you to walk in oneness with Jesus and avoid the evils of the world.
Jesus tests believers. He creates adversities and asks you to walk by faith.
The righteousness of Jesus comes to you by faith. You have been "sold under sin" and have no method of escape. No one is ever right with God except through Jesus.
What does Jesus want from you in return for the gift of salvation?
The answer is simple. Jesus wants you to seek His will for your life above all else. And, He wants you to walk by faith not by what you see with your eyes.
You seek the will of God through prayer, Bible study, and listening for His voice. This should be a consistent practice in your life.
Jesus is omniscient and sees everything in your future. So it is very important to submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway.
God also wants your obedience to His voice without compromise or wavering. Loyalty is very important to Jesus and is a measurement of your faith.
Christmas is a celebration of the life of Jesus in a believer. And, the holiday is an opportunity for a stranger to meet Jesus and become a new person free from the bondage of sin.
Ask Jesus today to prove His credentials? You will not be disappointed!
Merry Christmas!
