Seven Questions for Christmas

 


Seven Questions for Christmas

based on Galatians 4:1-7 and other Scriptures

 

1.    Why does Christmas matter?

Christmas matters because of the truth that God sent His Son (Jesus the Messiah) to this world. (John 3:16-17)

 

2.    Why did God send His Son to this world?

For Jesus the Son of God to become the means for our salvation. We are all sinners (Romans 3:10-11) in great need of a Savior.

 

3.    How did Jesus become the means for our salvation?

Jesus became the means for our salvation by dying on a cross, and that death being the perfect sacrifice to satisfy God’s wrath and cleanse us from sin.

(1 John 1:9 & 1 John 2:1-2)

 

4.    What happens to sinners when Jesus saves them?

Sinners receiving salvation are Justified (declared righteous), Adopted (into God’s family), Sanctified (made holy by God, conformed to the image of His Son), and Glorified (in Heaven, no more sin). (Romans 8:28-30)

 

 

 

5.    What does it mean to be adopted by God the Father?

We’re taken from the worldly patterns that lead to nowhere but Hell and brought into the status of a full-fledged heir of God the Father. (Romans 8:12-17)

 

6.    How do we truly become heirs of what belongs to God?

To be Justified (declared righteous) by faith, trusting in what Jesus has done for us in His death and resurrection, His work of redemption. (Romans 5:1-11)

 

7.    How can you be saved?

By Repenting of your sins, trusting in Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection alone for the forgiveness of your sins and being cleansed from all unrighteousness.

(Acts 3:19, Romans 10:9-13)

 

Galatians 4:4-5 – “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.”

The Elite and the Paupers - Ecclesiastes #13

Ecclesiastes 4:1-3 Then I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun: And look! The tears of the oppressed, But they have no comforter— On the side of their oppressors  there is  power, But they have no comforter. 2  Therefore I praised the dead who were already dead, More than the living who are still alive. 3  Yet, better than both  is he  who has never existed, Who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. Our lives are meaningless when we choose not to trust in God’s direction. Oftentimes, God will steer us through lives that don’t give us the greatest of pleasures. We work hard, and from that work we hope to earn enough money to take care of our needs and bills. If we have a little extra, and develop the discipline to save it, we could enjoy a needed vacation or a nice toy.
