Ephesians 2:8-10

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.


~~~Reflections~~~ 
God loves us with such significant love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. I cannot think of anything I would rather be rich in, then to be rich in God's grace.



I may not know all my flaws, imperfections, sins, or my own weakness.
I DO know that I have many of them. And by his grace they have all been erased.

I do not boast in my good works, for all the Glory goes the Lord.
Salvation cannot be earned. It is truly a free gift from God. There is nothing we can do to earn it. We have to accept this gift of Grace.  For this is all a part of the Lords plan. He wants that we should walk with him. We were created in Christ for good works, to bring Glory to God.


~~~ Prayer ~~~
Father of grace and mercy thank you. Thank you for extending grace even when I have not deserved it. Thank you for giving mercy when I most needed it. Thank you for giving life. Thank you for being my God. Thank you for preparing my way. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

John 15:16
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

~~~Refletions~~~
Jesus choose you!
He appointed you!
Jesus made the choice to die for you and love you. He made the choice to die on the cross for You.

So your Sins could be forgiven, so you can enter into the gates of heaven.
Without him making that first choice, you wouldn't have a choice.
Eternal life would not be an option.
It's up to you to make choice, to accept or reject Him?
.
We are not saved merely for our own benefit, but to serve Christ.
Manifesting His love and Word to the world, and to build up His church.
This is the fruit you bear and it will remain with you.
Every Christian will bear spiritual fruit. Somewhere, sometime, somehow.
Otherwise that person is not a believer.
Every born-again individual will be fruitful.
Not to be fruitful is to be faithless,
without faith, and therefore without salvation.
How can you receive from the Father anything in Jesus Name if you have no Faith?

Our Salvation Is a gift from the Lord.
All we have to do is pray this

Prayer~~~ Jesus Thank you for your Love, for making the sacrifice on the cross for my sins.I accept YOU!  You have redeemed me. Thank You!  I ask Father in Jesus Name that you would make me filled with faith, and fruitful. Help me to bring Glory to you!

2 Corinthians 5:21
For HE made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,
that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.


~~`Reflctions ~~~
For God made Christ in the flesh without any sin. Pure. Spotless.
So the Savior could take our sin so that we might receive God’s approval through Jesus.

Philippians 2:5-11

Let this mind be in you which was also in
Christ Jesus.
who, being in the form of God
did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
but made Himself of no reputation,
taking the form of a bondservant,
and coming in the likeness of men.

And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death,
even the death of the cross.




Therefore God also has highly exalted Him,
and given Him the name which is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of those in heaven, and of those on earth,
and of those under the earth,
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 6:7
For He who has died has been freed from sin.

Christ Born of the Virgin Mary Matthew 1:18-25

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows:
After His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph,
before they came together.

She was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man,
and not wanting to make her a public example,
was minded to put her away secretly.

But while he thought about these things,
behold,
an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,  “Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife,
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.



And she will bring forth a Son,
and you shall call His name Jesus,
for He will save His people from their sins.”
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying...

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son
and they shall call His name Immanuel,”
which is translated, “God with us.”

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep,
did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,
and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son.
And he called His name Jesus. "Immanuel" "God with us"

~~Reflections~~~
Mary being a Virgin of flesh and blood. 
and for the child Jesus was Miraculously
conceived in her womb was of the Holy Spirit.
A DIVINE MIRACLE!
As His Word spoke this world into existence.
Gods HIS Holy Spirit Miraculously, Supernatural Intervention had her conceive Jesus. 

Matthew mentions the paternity of the Holy Ghost very quickly.
Before either Joseph or Mary are mentioned.
Some scriptures to references for the virgin birth are Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38 Galatians 1-4
From the Old Testament prophetic message in Isaiah 7:14.
Christmas is more than just a tree, lights, gifts, jingle bells, holiday, or a birthday.
All through out the Bible, God has used days to remember things.
Nine major holidays and Sabbath days instructed by God in the Old Testament.
Seven of these were appointed feasts, meant to be a sacred time when the Israelites met with God. Three of these seven appointed feasts were pilgrimage feasts, when all Israelite males were required to appear before the Lord at the temple in Jerusalem.
Lets take a look at the celebration of the Birth of Jesus or also known as Christmas, from a Christian perspective. There is a lot of biblical basis, traditional observances, seasons, facts, and an interesting section revealing the fulfillment of the Messiah, Jesus Christ throughout the Bible.
Christmas No matter what day you celebrate it. Is a reminder that God did something so Divine and Holy. He sent his Son the Messiah for us, so we could be from sins and sickness. Give God Praise!
Christmas is a reminder GOD IS WITH US!

God Sent Forth His Son Galatians 4:1-6

Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child.

does not differ at all from a slave

though he is master of all

but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 

Even so we, when we were children

were in bondage under the elements of the world. 

But when the fullness of the time had come,

God sent forth His Son, born of a woman,

born under the law,  

to redeem those who were under the law,

that we might receive the adoption as sons.

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

Jesus Heals a Great Multitude

Matthew 4:23-24

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.

Philemon 1:3

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

You are the LIGHT of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Let YOUR light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16 

Revelation 1:4-5

4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.
To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood.

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
