The Christmas season is upon us and every year I am amazed that the reason for Christmas gets lost in the shuffle of shopping and parties and decorations.
Mike and I are Christians. We place our hope and lives in the death and resurrection of Jesus. We believe that we are sinful and in ourselves can do nothing to make ourselves sinless. There is no good deed, no good work that I could ever do that would account for my sin. God in His grace and immeasurable goodness saw that only a perfect sacrifice, a sinless life, would rectify the wrong in the world. At Christmas we celebrate God giving the perfect gift of His Son, who would live a perfect life and yet die the death I deserved to die so that I could be made right with God.
We have nothing, no hope hope for righteousness, without the shed blood of Christ. Thank you God for your perfect gift at Christmas.
"For by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves - it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8
"Because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we are dead in transgressions, it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4-5
"For in this Hope we are saved..." Romans 8:24
