By Grace
The apostle John wrote,
"We love because he first loved us."
1John 4:19
Jesus speaking of Himself said,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
In Christianity we believe that God loved His creation so much that he reached down from heaven, in the form of His One and Only Son Jesus, to show in human terms how far he would go reconcile mankind to Himself.
The apostle Paul tells us,
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8.
This is the reason for Christmas. Christians believe we could not live lives good enough to enter heaven. Thus God created away for us.
The apostle Paul states,
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8,9.
Thus my question to you is have you accepted this free gift of salvation that comes through Jesus Christ?
Please think about it.
