To your amazement they offer to pay you,
Or to work for the gifts,
Or even more shocking… they refuse the gifts altogether!
Never!
You say, “That would never happen!” And yet it does –
Multiple times –
Every single day!
From His loving heart, God so loved that He gave -
He gave Jesus!
Jesus IS the gift!
And wrapped up in the tiny baby we celebrate at Christmas are so many
gifts, some of which are: Redemption,
Forgiveness,
Adoption into God’s Family,
Eternal LIFE,
A lasting Inheritance,
A constant Helper,
Counsel,
Comfort,
Instruction,
Direction,
Discernment,
Power,
Gifts for service,
Assurance of salvation,
Help in prayer,
Wisdom,
Grace,
Joy,
Peace,
Hope.
God’s gifts are lasting and God’s gifts are good!
Who wouldn’t want all that?Even more so, we all need it.
We ALL need HIM.
For a gift to become yours you have to
Believe it andReceive it when it is offered.
God’s gift – Freely given.
You can’t buy it or work for it - and please, please, please don’t refuse it!
“For
God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son,
that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans
10:13
Merry Christmas!
