Ladies and Gentlemen, we have The Gift of Eternal Life!
But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious Gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful Grace and His Gift of Forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ.
For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful Grace and His Gift of Righteousness (right way of living), for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of Righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone.
God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful Grace became more abundant.
So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful Grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our LORD!
Dear ones, the greatest Gift that mankind has ever been given is Immanuel = God with us! By Faith in Christ Jesus as LORD over all our lives, we believe The Truth of the Word of God as it is written in the Bible. For this purpose, the Apostle Paul became a missionary to the citizens of Rome in his time.
All throughout the history of mankind, we have questioned – What must I DO to have Eternal Life? The answer is to believe that Jesus Christ is The Son of the Living God and He paid the ultimate price for ALL my sins!
When we by Faith understand that my life IN CHRIST is not about what I have done in my past, but what miracle works that He is doing in me at this moment, His LOVE for me is overwhelming! His Heavenly affection surrounds me everywhere that I go.
Holy Spirit of the Living LORD, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in Ephesians 2:8
For by Grace you have been saved through Faith, and this is not from myself. It is a Gift of God-Jehovah, and this Gift is not of my own doing for then anyone could boast. For we are His Workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Let us Celebrate The Birth of Jesus Christ as LORD over all our lives!
Amen and Amen!
