The Good News of Christmas
Lk 2:9-11
Some people do not celebrate the birth of Christ. They associate Christmas with pagan practices, or with secular commercialized version of the holiday. Maybe, they haven't discovered yet that Christmas is about the Good News that bring great joy to all people. As followers of Jesus Christ, we celebrate Christmas with a resounding message -- Joy to the world, for Christ the Savior was born!
The Good News the World Needs to Hear:
✝️ He came to save people from their sins.
Good News--Christmas is focused on Christ- The Savior of the world (Mt 1:21; 1Jn 4:14-15; Lk 2:10-11).
✝️ He brings great joy to everyone who accepts this Gift.
Great Joy--Why trusting Him as your Lord and Savior brings great joy: your sins will be forgiven, He'll make you a new creation, freedom, peace, you'll have a personal relationship with God, purpose, and you'll spend eternity with Him in heaven.
How do I receive Him? Repent and believe (Acts 3:19).
Christmas is sharing this Gift. What a great opportunity! Have you received the Gift? Merry Christmas! A great way to begin celebrating Christmas is to share Him to others.
✝️He will help you live for Him.

Salvation Prayer.
Salvation is by grace through faith. No formula for this prayer. Just pray it from your heart...
Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself only. I am sorry, and I repent. I ask you to forgive me.
I believe that you died on the cross for me, to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life; I give it to you. From this day forward, help me to live every day for you and in a way that pleases you.
I love you, Lord, and I thank you that I will spend all eternity with you. Amen.
