Christmas is the time when God chose to give mankind the greatest gift of all. The gift He gave was His son, Jesus Christ.
The main purpose was to overcome the sin factor in our lives. Way back in the beginning, God and Adam walked and talked together in the Garden of Eden. When man sinned, that relationship was broken.
Jesus’ death on the cross removed the effects of sin and made us holy. When we personally accept His sacrifice, we are restored to that original relationship with God. We can now walk and talk with Him. He did not abandon us, but wanted to bless us with an eternal gift with eternal consequences.
Through that gift, God gave us our salvation from a life of sin and error. Celebrate that gift by thanking Him for all He has done. It all started with a baby in a straw filled manger in a stable. Have a very merry Christmas!
