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 the Salvation of God, and draws people to our Lord Jesus Christ, the “Saviour of the world” (1 John 4:11-15), then God’s will be done.
Human beings must CELEBRATE the birth of Jesus EVERY DAY for
the very reason that God has given us HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON (John 3:16-18); the
CHRIST of God (Luke 9:20) and the SALVATION of God (Luke 2:30-32) who has the
POWER OF GOD to give us the ‘FREE GIFT’ OF LIFE (Romans 5:18). “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 PROFITABLE GIFT worthwhile obtaining in our lifetime is
the ‘GIFT OF LIGHT’ required for ETERNAL LIFE which is hidden with GOD IN 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).
