Jesus: The Gift Who Never Stops Giving

"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 m3: 16)

At Christmas time, we exchange gifts, commemorating the greatest gift that has ever been given to us: God's own Son, Jesus.

Sadly, too many believers in the Body of Christ have stopped open their Gift after they confession their faith in Christ and His Finished Work.

Even worse, many believers do not see the gift as total and free, yet feel compelled to earn or maintain through their own efforts the gift which has been given them.

It is time for believers to stop falling for the folly of this mixed message

"For if by one man's offence 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." (Romans 5: 17) Paul presses on his readers that this is a "free gift" (Romans 5: 18), a gift which we are called to keep receiving! Believers think that salvation is all there is. Paul declared that there is so much more:

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8: 32)

and

"Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

"Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

"And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. " (1 Corinthians 3: 21-23)

Do not limit the blessings which God has so richly lavished on you through His Son.

Keep asking, keep receiving, and keep rejoicing in that God through Christ is giving to you!
