Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday
23. December 2011 by PawBill.
As a Biblical Christian, I joyfully celebrate the virgin birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ during the Christmas Season. If you are a Christian it is my prayer for you that in the coming New Year your faith will be rekindled and that you will allow the Holy Spirit, by relinquishing your self-will to Him, to indwell you and to give you the ”…peace of God that transcends all understanding…,” Philippians 4:7 NIV. If you have not found this peace it can be found through repentance, belief and faith in the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the cleansing of your sins and through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
If you are not a Christian and you have no sure hope for an afterlife then it is my prayer that you will answer the voice of God if He is calling you and accept His offer of grace, forgiveness and salvation. You may have never heard His voice, but it is there in the silent moments of your inner thoughts at those times when you have pondered on the meaning and purpose of your life. Answer that calling by acceptance, repentance and faith in the person of Jesus Christ for it is written, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved,” Acts 4:12 NIV. Surrender to Jesus Christ and allow the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to work His miracle of redemption in you.
Whether or not you choose to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday, I believe, is not a scriptural command of Jesus Christ and only serves as a distraction perpetrated by an anti-christian spirit to restrain those who do not know Jesus Christ as a personal savior from seeking Him. If Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior you know the Truth and you have been “set free” to live a spiritual life in Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior, you can worship whatever you like, i.e., a tree, money, immorality and etc., as your spirit belongs to Satan, the god of this world to unrepentant man.
There is a decision that must be made in everyone’s life—You must surrender to Jesus or you must surrender to Satan. There are no other options! Completely remove God, Jesus and the Holy Scriptures from history and consider what life on earth would have become. It is unimaginable but that is what the ungodly desire for this world through their reliance upon the human nature of man.
It is up to you. What will be your choice? Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday! It is my prayer that it will simply be, “Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.”
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
