OUTLINE:

1Th 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

2Co 11:3 NASU
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

God Is Not Bound By the Construct of Time
Ps 90:4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
2Pe 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Merry Christ-mas!
Jesus ended up making we believers RIGHTEOUS, by His sacrifice for our iniquities at the Cross. Is 53:11, 2Co 5:21

Eph 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Salvation is Simple; the Gospel is Simple
“By scripture alone” (sola scriptura)
“By faith alone” (sola fide)
“By grace alone” (sola gratia)
“Through Christ alone” (solo Christo)
“Glory to God alone” (Soli Deo gloria)

Merry Christ-mas!
God’s children have been made alive together with Christ (ala Eph 2:4-6). We must spend our time this Christmas living in gratitude for His grace.

2Co 9:15
Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
