Show Good Tidings Of Great Joy! In Luke 2: 10 & 11, we read "... and the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." As Christmas approaches, we shouldn't be thinking so much of gifts and pretty lights, but should be praising God that He sent His Son into the world to seek and to save those that are lost. The Bible says in Romans 3:10; "there is none righteous, no not one." We all need to have a personal reconciliation with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. We need to ask forgiveness of sins and ask Jesus to save us. When we truly ask these things we are then indwelt immediately by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13) and through His help can live a purposeful life for God. Enjoy this Christmas by just thanking God for His Son and the gift of salvation that none of us deserves, but by the Grace of God each one of us can be gloriously saved and become children of God.
