The Joy of Christmas is a joy for all eternity. Jesus is our joy.
Accept the Christmas gift
Jesus was a gift from God. He brought salvation with Him. Accept Him. He is the One that brings you directly into the everlasting joy of forgiveness in Christ.
The birth of Jesus was the biggest prophecy of all time. Have you made Christmas your salvation story?
I’ve got joy – THAT joy of God. It is amazingly deep. And it’s all because I stand in confidence before God Almighty, and know that I am enough, because He Himself made me brand new – ready for that first day when I stand in front of God.

This world is not my home! That is why…
I live with confidence
I am not afraid of death
I cast aside fear. God is my refuge and strength
I do not allow sin to reign over me
I have exceedingly vibrant joy in my inner soul
Although I am not perfect, I have, growing in me…
“love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control”
I converse with my Savior all throughout my day
I make it my aim to do everything I do
– with all my might, and
– for the glory of God

__________
Approach God with a true and sincere heart
It was the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, the baby born in a manger, of Mary, “fathered” by God the Holy Spirit – that was the culminating act of God to bring salvation to all who would believe and follow Him. Read Hebrews 9 and 1 Peter 1.
– Acts 17:30-31
“…He commands all people everywhere
to repent
[that is, to change their old way of thinking,
to regret their past sins, and
to seek God’s purpose for their lives],
31 because He has set a day
when He will judge the inhabited world
in righteousness
by a Man whom He has appointed
and destined for that task, and
He has provided credible proof
to everyone
by raising Him from the dead.”
– Acts 17:30-31 AMP version
That was God’s plan all along.
