ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
We are all familiar with the Biblical story of the birth of
the Christ child, recorded in the Gospels. Some may
wonder why God left no record as to the exact day that
He was born.
Still we celebrate His birth and we marvel
at the wonder of it, that God would actually send His
own Son into the world as a babe to grow up to be a
man, and then give His life on the cross for all of mankind
that He had created. At this wonderful time of year,
we are reminded of the Love, Joy and Peace that the
coming of Jesus brought, and continues to bring to all
believers. God’s love for us is so strong that He gave
the greatest and most precious gift of all, His Son, that
we might live forever (John 3:16). He has manifested
His love to us in every possible way, and has so vividly
described for us in 1 Cor. 13 what love is. He brought
joy to our hearts in the forgiveness of our sins (Acts
2:38;22:16). We are told in Phil. 4:4-7 to ...”Rejoice in
the Lord always, and again I say rejoice...In nothing be
anxious; but in everything, by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto
God. And the peace of God which passeth all understanding
shall guard your hearts and thoughts in Christ
Jesus.” As Christians, this wonderful privilege can be
ours every day of our lives! Don’t miss a single day of it.
Psalms 1:1-6 tells us how.
Love you, David V. Fultz
