Christmas
what's the real reason for the season?
Today in America, nearly everyone celebrates Christmas. But the real reason for the season seems to have been forgotten by many. So what's Christmas really all about?
Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus over 2,000 years ago:
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he
shall save his people from their sins." Matt. 1:21
Everyone has sinned and is in need of a Savior.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
Rom. 3:23
That includes sins like lying (Ex.20:15), lusting (Mat 5:28),
using God's name in vain (Ex 20:7), and many other sins.
The punishment for our sin is death.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom 6:23
Jesus died in our place to save us from the
punishment we deserve.
"He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, that we might
die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have
been healed." 1Peter 2:24
What must I do to be saved?
"If thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Rom 10:9
