We all
love Christmas. Some celebrate it with Santa Claus, presents, and trees, while
others choose just a few of these things and still others don’t celebrate the
day at all, but are glad that Christ was born. It isn’t important to God
exactly how you celebrate it just that you understand its meaning.
Romans
14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth
every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
The
point is this:
God
loved you enough to send his Son to die for you.
John
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.

John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Jesus
Christ loved you enough to give his life for you.
Romans
5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us.
John
10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
the sheep.)
John
15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends.
People
in hell don’t want you to come there.
Luke
16:23-28 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, ... he said, I pray
thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For
I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into
this place of torment.
People
in heaven are watching to see what you will decide.
Hebrews
12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us,
Do you
know someone who is praying that you will be saved? A grandmother, an aunt, a
friend? All they want is to see you in Heaven and not Hell.
I want
you to be saved enough to risk offending you and ask you to turn from your sin
and by faith receive the gift of God’s grace, eternal life.
Romans
6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians
2:8 For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of
works, lest any man should boast.
How?
If you believe, and say, “I want to be saved, I just don’t know how.” Then
here it is.
Romans
10:9-13 That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him
shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:
for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Want
to give Christ a present on His day?
Luke
15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the
angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
1)
God loved you enough to send his Son to die for you.
2)
Jesus Christ loved you enough to give his life for you.
3)
People in hell don’t want you to come there.
4)
People in heaven are watching to see what you will decide.
5)
Someone here on earth is praying for you.
6)
I have told you, and you have read it from the Word of God.
The
choice is yours. Please accept the greatest gift ever given.
If you
have trusted in Christ as your saviour, tell others. God loved them so much that he would send His Son to die for
us.
Someone
told me of God’s love and now I tell you.
Tell
someone else, all the hard work has been done.
He has a
request, for those that are saved.
Matthew
9:37-38 Then saith he unto his
disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye
therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his
harvest.
Merry
Christmas Christ.
Paul
