“God’s Gracious Gift”
There is a difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and His gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. Romans 6:15
As we approach Christmas, many are getting ANXIOUS and WORRIED about the GIFT-GIVING part of this holiday. They rush around from store to store SEARCHING for just the RIGHT gift. And by the time Christmas arrives, they are absolutely wore out because of ALL the RUSHING around, and having to substitute one thing for another. Then they WORRY whether the person they are buying for will really LIKE or APPRECIATE what they have purchased for them. And they have a HARD time ENJOYING the Christmas holiday. When we let this scenario RUIN our CELEBRATION of the BIRTH of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, we are in the process of CELEBRATING the WRONG REASON for the holiday.
When Adam sinned it brought a SINFUL NATURE into the HEARTS of EVERY PERSON ever born. And SIN has engulfed mankind, making them its SLAVE. And because of this SINFUL NATURE, mankind is doomed to spend their ETERNITY in a place called HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once they are there. But because of GOD’S ABUNDANT MERCY and His AMAZING GRACE, mankind can have an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS, and they can ESCAPE HELL. Because GOD’S GRACIOUS GIFT is GREATER than mankind’s sins, He offers them this FREE GIFT of FORGIVENESS, if they will BELIEVE and ACCEPT the PROVIDER of this AMAZING GIFT of SALVATION, which is GOD’S ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. The ONE who PAID the PRICE for the SALVATION of MANKIND through His DEATH and RESURRECTION from the GRAVE. He shed His PRECIOUS BLOOD to REDEEM those who will BELIEVE in HIM and ACCEPT His GIFT of SALVATION. The GREATEST GIFT of ALL. One that KEEPS ON GIVING.
Have you BELIEVED on the LORD JESUS CHRIST and ACCEPTED HIS GIFT of SALVATION? If NOT you can by: ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR the LORD JESUS CHRIST. And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God. You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His GIFT of FORGIVENESS. You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. Then you MUST ACCEPT GOD’S GRACIOUS GIFT of SALVATION, and this CHRISTMAS, share GOD’S GRACIOUS GIFT of SALVATION through His BELOVED SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST with others. So, do this NOW, while you still can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!! You DON’T want to be LEFT BEHIND nor to have ANY of your LOVED ONES LEFT BEHIND!!!
