The Bible Message
Believe in HIM !
God is the Creator God created a world in which
there was perfect peace and harmony. He is the
ruler and all mankind must obediently serve Him.
In the beginning God created the heavens and
the earth. Then God saw everything that He had
made, and indeed it was very good. Genesis 11,
31 We are sinners Man rebelled against this
creator and broke the peace and harmony between
God and himself, his fellow man and the world
around him. As a result all mankind fell into
sin. For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God. Romans 323 God offers
salvation God restored peace and harmony by
sending us His son Jesus Christ to die on the
cross for our sins. Whoever believes in Him will
be saved. But as many as received Him, to them
He gave the right to become children of God, to
those who believe in His Name. John 112 We
must serve God With thanks to God for giving us
His Son we now give our lives completely to
Him. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that you present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which
is your reasonable service. Romans 121
Christmas Message
The lowliness of the Child in the stable of
Bethlehem is a prelude to His life on earth. He
took upon Himself a human life, like us from
flesh and blood. He was born in Bethlehem,
wrapped in swaddling cloths, laid in a manger,
because there was no room in the inn. He humbled
Himself even to the point of death on the cross.
It is for this reason that God has highly exalted
Him and given Him the power to plead for us in
heaven to save us from eternal punishment. He
knows what it is to live on earth, he knows the
difficulties we face on earth. This humble Child
of Bethlehem, Jesus, is crowned with glory and
honour. For everyone who sees the Son and
believes in Him may have everlasting life. (John
6 40).
Luke 2 1-7 And it came to pass in those days
that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that
all the world should be registered. This census
first took place while Quirinius was governing
Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to
his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the
city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because
he was of the house and lineage of David, to be
registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was
with child. So it was, that while they were
there, the days were completed for her to be
delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn
Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and
laid Him in a manger, because there was no room
for them in the inn. Through Him we can find
peace in our life. For this reason join us and
hear Who this Child in Bethlehem is and the
salvation we may receive through Him.
