1999-12-26 - Passages About The Most Perfect Gift
We have said it and heard it so many times that it can sound cliché,
but it's actually a profound truth: Jesus is the best gift we will ever receive.
It's a gift that fits everyone perfectly, it leaves no one out (except by
their choice), we never outgrow it, and it lasts forever.
What do we gain from this precious gift?
Eternal Life with God
(John 3:16 NNAS) For God so loved the world, that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but
have eternal life.
A Parent / Child relationshp with our Heavenly Daddy ("Abba")
(John 1:12 NNAS) But as many as received Him, to them
He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in
His name.
Limitless Strength
(Phil 4:13 NNAS) I can do all things through Him who
strengthens me.
Wisdom
(James 1:5 NNAS) But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him
ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will
be given to him.
Comfort When We Hurt
(2 Cor 1:3-4 NNAS) Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts
us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are
in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted
by God.
Fellowship
(1 John 1:7 NNAS) But if we walk in the Light as He Himself
is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus
His Son cleanses us from all sin.
More than We Can Imagine
(Eph 3:20-21 NNAS) Now to Him who is able to do far more
abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works
within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all
generations forever and ever. Amen.
I hope you have accepted the priceless gift of a personal relationship with
Christ. If you have not and want this, please write me
