THE OPPORTUNITY THAT CHRISTMAS BRINGS MUST NOT BE IGNORED.
THE CALLED AND ANOINTED.
CHRISTMAS IS NOT ABOUT HAVING A PARTY OR BEING EXTRAVAGANT IN SHOPPING FOR PERISHABLE ITEMS, BUT THE PURPOSE OF CHRISTMAS MUST BE GENUINELY EMBRACED.
CHRIST CAME INTO THIS WORLD TO GIVE US ETERNAL SALVATION AND THIS GIFT OF SALVATION MUST NOT BE OVER-LOOKED.
IF WE MISS THE OPPORTUNITY OF THIS ETERNAL SALVATION, THEN THE BIRTH OF CHRIST IS MEANINGLESS.
REVELATION [20: 12] “AND I SAW THE DEAD, SMALL AND GREAT STANDING BEFORE GOD. AND BOOKS WERE OPENED, WHICH WAS THE BOOK OF LIFE. AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.”
VERSE 5: “AND ANYONE WHOSE NAME WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.”
THE FESTIVITY ASPECT OF CHRISTMAS IS FOR THE TEENAGERS, THE ADULTS MUST UNDERSTAND WHAT HIS BIRTH BROUGHT TO MANKIND AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF NOT ACCEPTING CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR BEFORE THE SOUL IS CALLED.
IN CONCLUSION: UNDERSTANDING WHO SATAN IS, HIS PURPOSE FOR MANKIND, AND HOW MANY PRECIOUS STONES HE IS MADE OF, WILL HELP US TO APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF ETERNAL SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. [EZEKIEL 28: 13-17]
