Merry Christmas(Birth of Jesus)

The True Meaning of Christmas :) The Bible tells us that 2000 years ago Jesus Christ came into the world; that God took upon Himself a body of human flesh and made His appearance on this earth in Bethlehem's manger. (1 Timothy 3:16; Philippians 2:5-8; John 1:1-14; Luke 2:1-20) But beyond the fact that He came, the Bible tells us something very important. It tells us WHY Jesus came. It reveals the purpose for His coming. The Bible says that Jesus came to keep every commandment of God (Matthew 5:17-18); to bear witness unto the truth (John 18:37); to reveal to man his sinful condition (John 15:22); to call sinners to repentance(Luke 5:32). The Bible says that Jesus came so sinners could be saved (1 Timothy 1:15); so transgressors could be redeemed (Galatians 4:5); so those under the curse of death could be given life(John 10:10). The Bible also says that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. (Luke 19:10) Jesus Christ did not come to establish a religion, work miracles, set an example, or teach beautiful truths, though He did all those things. Jesus Christ did not come so we could celebrate His birth, though many enjoy doing so. The ultimate purpose for His coming was to die on a cross for your sins and mine(John 12:27-33), then rise again to offer us forgiveness and everlasting life. (Romans 4:25) Jesus came because you and I are sinners who fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and have no hope of reaching Heaven on the basis of anything we can do- good deeds, church membership, baptism, charity, etc. (Ephesians 2:8-9). Will you receive the free gift God offers to all who repent and place their faith and trust in His dear Son? For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord(Romans 6:23). John 3:16 For God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son to die to save us from our sins. Whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. :):)
