"You Can't Take CHRIST out of CHRISTmas"
During this season of GIVING, a lot of people go out of their way to celebrate the season while trying to forget, or remove, or ignore, the reason for the season. And the reason they do is because of ignorance, fear, or in the case of the ACLU hatred(you can find loads of documented facts of the ACLU's war against CHRISTmas and everything God on sites like http://Stoptheaclu.com), of the name Jesus CHRIST. But, you can't take CHRIST out of CHRISTmas. Why?
Because God the Father GAVE His Son to pay the price for the sins of you and me:
John 3:16-18(KJV): 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. 17)For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. 18)He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
God GAVE His Son to the world, to pay the price for the world's sins, that any who believe in Jesus CHRIST will be save. God gave a FREE GIFT to the world almost 2000 years ago, GIVING all He had(His Son), so people like you and I might be saved through CHRIST. How do we know it's FREE?
Romans 3:23-25(KJV): 23)For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24)Being justified FREELY by His grace through the redemption that is in CHRIST Jesus: 25)Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His BLOOD, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Romans 5:15-18(KJV): 15)"But not as the offense, so also is the FREE GIFT. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the GIFT by grace, which is by one man, Jesus CHRIST, hath abounded unto many. 16)And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the GIFT: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the FREE GIFT is of many offences unto justification. 17)For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the GIFT of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus CHRIST. 18)Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the FREE GIFT came upon all men unto justification of life."
Ephesians 2:8-9(KJV): 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."
And when God says FREE, that's exactly what He means, FREE. There's no small disclaimer denying that it isn't FREE. And God has been GIVING to mankind ever since He breathed the breath of life into Adam, making Adam a living soul.
So, the reason for the season is truly Jesus CHRIST, for in a season, God FREELY GAVE His Son, the greatest gift to mankind, so that mankind could be saved and forgiven of their sins. So that's why we call this the season of GIVING, because we GIVE what we were FREELY GIVEN, and that's CHRIST, and Him crucified.
And by the way, it's CHRISTmas, not Chrismas, as there's no silent T in CHRIST.
"I'll stand on the absolute truth, the Word of God, and leave the relative truth to worldly people."
