CHRISTMAS AND SALVATION FOR MANKIND
John 1: 10- 11
10- “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11- He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12- But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
There are sad events and sad verses in the Bible but one of the saddest verses or Words in the Bible is in John 1: 10- 11. A good illustration for this to picture out what the verses is talking about is like: You will build a house for your family and love ones. You buy everything that’s needed in the house. You invited them inn, and then one day you came home from work and you see them all standing by the door and tell you… “We don’t need you here!!!” and slam the door in your face.
It’s sad and tragic; but that’s what we did to God and that’s what the world is doing. God made the world and created men in His own image, He provided everything that we needed in this world before we were born… and one day; when God started speaking and knocking in our hearts… we rejected Him and slammed the door of our hearts to Jesus and the working of the Holy Spirit. (Rev. 3: 20) “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Jesus came down from heaven to die for our sins. (Matthew 1: 21) “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Remember that His (Christ) Birthday (Christmas) is empty, without Calvary (His death on the Cross). This Christmas please do the ABC. A- Accept Him (The Lord Jesus Christ) as your Lord and Savior. (John 1: 12) “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
B- Believe in Him (The Lord Jesus Christ) that He alone can save you. (Romans 10: 10) “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
C- Confess Him (The Lord Jesus Christ) and ask Him to forgive you of your sins. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” And then you will have the true meaning of Christmas.
