What is the meaning of Christmas ?

“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” I Timothy 1:15

“God sent His Son to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the Law, so that He
could adopt us as His very own children.” Galatians 4:4

“ Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour who is Christ the Lord”
Luke 2:11

“ For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world
through Him might be saved.” John 3:17
Two men, Two Acts and Two Conditions
that affect all human beings

Romans 5: 18 & 19

“Therefore by the offense of one man (Adam) judgment came upon
all to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one man
(Jesus) the free gift came upon all men to justification of life….
by one man’s disobedience (Adam) many were made sinners, so by
the obedience of one man (Jesus) shall many be made righteous. “
Two Men
Adam – the first man, affects all human beings by passing on a sinful nature and it’s devastating corruption and consequences of death to the entire human race
Jesus Christ – the Son of God came into the world to SAVE mankind from sin and death and offer us the free gift of eternal life.

Two Acts
Adam – by one act of disobedience, caused death and separation of all mankind from God, and caused the world to become lost.
Jesus Christ –by one act of obedience Jesus came into the world, died on the cross for our sins and has made available to all humanity “Justification” ….that is He paid the price for our sins to save us from death, make us righteous by giving us a RIGHT standing with God, when we believe on Him.
Two Conditions
Condemnation – the condition of guilt and God’s judgment for our sins. This condemnation is upon all those who have not believed on Jesus Christ.

Justification – the condition of being made right with God by faith…believing in Jesus Christ who bore our condemnation on the cross and made peace with God for us
