I don’t know if lots of people understand the message of Christmas which is the Love gift from God.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He sent His begotten son that whosever believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Though December 25, remains un-established fact, it is a universal truth that once upon a time God lived among the people in physical terms. The angels of God announced to God’s chosen people the birth of the Messiah and the joy of His coming was exuberantly felt by those who have witnessed His birth.

During the onset of Christmas season Christians around the world culminate the birth of Christ, there is this feeling of love that seems to kindle in us. Every time we hear the Christmas carols or see those Christmas symbols that gleefully hang on every street and in most homes, the spirit of joy somehow, leaps in our heart. The spirit of Christmas encourages giving among the people not only materially but it also stir in us the joy of love, bonding and reunion, It is during Christmas that we tend to remember those departed loved ones and sometimes we get surprised for the unexpected visit of the long lost loved one. These are only few of the countless incidents that we all wish to happen during Christmas. Remembering the good memories and dispelling those hatreds we have kept in our hearts for so long, are two things that we should do if we want to receive the abundance of God’s blessings this Christmas.

It is the will of God that everybody should come to Him for repentance and be saved from our sins. It is by receiving the gift of God, which is the forgiveness of our sins through the spirit of Lord Jesus that one experience the renewing of mind and restoring the joy of salvation in our hearts. If you have not taken the step to ask forgiveness from all your sins and receive Christ to come to your heart and ask Him to renew your mind and make you a new person, this is your day now. If you have been tired of solving problems by yourself or been overloaded with burden of this world, you may not know that God is calling you right now.

II Corithians 6:2

For He says “In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation.

Matthew 11:28-30

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29”Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30”For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

You only receive Christ once and expect the joy of salvation throughout your life. Though how much sins you have or if you perceive yourself as somebody who is hopeless and unforgivable. You have a great hope in the Lord.

Isaiah 1:18

“Come now, and let us reason together.” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Help in Receiving Christ

You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer. God knows your heart and is not as concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is the suggested prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.”

If this prayer expresses the desire of your heart, the Spirit of Christ will come to your right now
Accept the gift of love and message of God this Christmas.
