The Best Gift Ever

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
Romans 3:23, 24 NLT

Our faith and trust in Christ Jesus changes every aspect of our life. The sins of our past are taken away from us and are replaced with the sinlessness of Christ. We have been judged by God and have been found to be blameless. No longer are we counted homeless for we are now citizens of heaven and members of God's family.

We have been saved by the blood of Jesus from an eternity apart from God. We have been brought near to the Maker of heaven and earth with the sacrifice of His perfect Son.

We celebrate the birth of Christ as a way of saying "thank you" to God for helping us do what we could never have done on our own - come near to Him.

Our gifts to each other are reminders of how much we have been given through the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus. We have been given everything pertaining to life and godliness through the exchange of our sin for Christ's sinlessness.

There is so much that has been given to us because of our faith in Christ. I want you to live and enjoy it all. I want you to get closer to God so that you can fully experience His personal and magnificent love for yourself. In other words, I don't want you to miss out on anything He has given us.

God has great things in store for you. Will you receive them?
