yChristmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. His birth changed the whole world -- and He can change your life today.
Jesus was born in the little town of Bethlehem in Israel over 2,000
years ago; His mother was the virgin Mary. When He was born, an angel
proclaimed to shepherds in the field "Unto you is born this day in the
city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."
When Jesus was born, some people welcomed Him; some ignored
Him; and some rejected Him. There was no room for Him at the inn in
Bethlehem, so the Son of God was laid in a manger where animals stayed.
Even today, some people welcome Christ and some ignore or reject Him.
Jesus came to earth to be our Savior and to die to pay the penalty for
our sins. Here is how you can welcome Christ as your Lord and Savior
into your life.
1. God Loves You!
The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"
The problem is that
2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.
The
Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is
perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible
says “The wages of sin is death.”
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God
demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His
Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with
Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am
the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by
Me."
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, even to those who believe on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come
in to your life as your Lord and Savior.
4. If you want to accept Christ, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you
for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins
and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my
life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always."

of God!
