Celebrate or do not celebrate the CHRISTMAS SEASON?
There continues to be debate, dissension and disagreement about whether
Jesus was born on December 25. Every human being has a right to their own
beliefs; however, if the celebration of Christmas brings awareness to salvation
and draws people to our Lord Jesus Christ, the “…Saviour of the world…” (1 John
4:11-15), so let it be done.
Human beings must celebrate the birth of Jesus EVERY DAY for the very
reason that God gave as a FREE GIFT (Romans 5:18) to human beings his ONLY
BEGOTTEN SON (John 3:16-18) JESUS, the CHRIST of God (Luke 9:20), the SALVATION
of God (Luke 2:30-32): “That whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD] not perish,
but [HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15).
Therefore, let us not get carried away with times, seasons or dates
because the only TRUE GIFT worthwhile obtaining in our lifetime is the GIFT OF
LIGHT which is hidden with JESUS CHRIST (Colossians 3:3) (1 Corinthians
15:45–46).
This CHRISTMAS SEASON, if you have not already done, let JESUS be BORN in
your heart.
“Whosoever is [BORN] of God doth not commit sin; [FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH
IN HIM]: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (1 John 3:9).
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8)
says: “If a man [LOVES ME, HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS]: and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23).
“[HEREBY KNOW WE THAT WE DWELL IN HIM, AND HE IN US, BECAUSE HE HATH
GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT]. [WHOSOEVER SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD,
GOD DWELLETH IN HIM, AND HE IN GOD]” (1 John 4:13, 15).
“But what saith it? [THE WORD IS NIGH THEE, EVEN IN THY MOUTH, AND IN
THY HEART]: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; [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]. For [WITH THE HEART
MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS]; and [WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO
SALVATION]” (Romans 10:8-10).
“And now, little children, [ABIDE IN HIM]; that, when [HE SHALL APPEAR], we may have [CONFIDENCE], and not be [ASHAMED BEFORE HIM AT HIS COMING]. If ye know that [HE IS RIGHTEOUS], ye know that [EVERY ONE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS BORN OF HIM]” (1 John 2:28-29).
“Grace be with all them that [LOVE] our Lord Jesus Christ in [SINCERITY]. Amen” (Ephesians 6:23-24).
