We shouldn’t fear around this time of the year

We have reached December and Christmas draws near again.

Christmas should always be a time of joy and peace without fears and uneasiness our enemies have imposed on us.

The reason our nation is on “High Alert” and we have to live with much caution is we have rejected God’s Gift of Gifts, Jesus Christ.

We have let infidels take away our rights to say Merry Christmas, to display manger scenes and crosses, while they drag American down into a cesspool of filth and immorality.

We have never known the fear in our streets or even the fear of other nations until now.

We were once a proud nation and the strongest nation in the world until this nation put our God on the level with other religious false gods.

Taking this path this nation will continue to spiral downward.

There is no contest. There is only one true God, the God that created heaven and earth.

One verse of scripture proves His authenticity, John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

What other false deity can boast of such love as our God?

Other false religions speak of violence and murder while our God speaks of love.

The measure of love is always measured by its willingness to give and capacity to sacrifice.

What other deity has given or sacrificed? None.

God’s love is revealed in His giving.

His giving is beyond all measure.

We cart never know the costliness of Calvary to God. “He gave His only begotten Son.” In giving the Son the Father gave Himself, for “God was fn Christ reconciling the world unto himself’ 2 Corinthians 5:19. The Lord Jesus is not merely an agent through whom God sends the message that He loves us. He is God Himself actually came to earth loving us.

I can’t imagine the greatness of His love, the world kills and keeps on killing but God loves and just keeps on loving.

When people abuse God, reject and deny Him, He is still willing to love, forgive and save.

All one has to do is believe, repent and except Jesus Christ. “Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” “Whosoever,” no matter how sinful you are or what you have done. Whether. Muslin, Hindu or any other false religion, He gave His Son for you so you can have “everlasting life.” Believe and except Jesus Christ today, the Gift of all gifts.
