The Christmas Gift is More than Just Salvation

What is your meditation during this festive time?

Christain would like to tell the world that Christmas is about Jesus Christ and not Satan Claus. Jesus Christ is God's greatest gift to mankind - the salvation of man. What will be your Christmas message to others?

Over the years, I have quite a few meditations to share. This year is about unwrapping this Gift to discover more about what is contained in it - the seven provisions.

The greatest gift of Christmas is Jesus Christ - He came to reconcile us back to God by His birth as man, death for our redemption, and resurrection for our eternal life. We must understand that this gift is not just for our salvation but for our growth into maturity, into Christ-likeness (Romans 8:29). 

Derek Prince, in "How to Apply the Blood of Jesus" shows us the seven steps or the seven provisions.

  1. Redemption - Say: "Through the blood of Jesus I have been redeemed out of the hand of the devil.
  2. Cleansing - Say: “While I walk in the light the blood of Jesus cleanses me now and continually from all sin.”
  3. Justification - Say: “Through the blood of Jesus I am justified, acquitted, not guilty, reckoned righteous, made righteous, just as if I’d never sinned.”
  4. Sanctification - Say: “Through the blood of Jesus I am sanctified, made holy, set apart to God, separated from sin, made holy with God’s holiness.”
  5. Life -  Say: "We’ve got the eternal, uncreated, measureless life of God Himself, a life that existed before anything was ever created, in the blood of Jesus. We are sons and daughters of God."
  6. Intercession - Say: “Thank you, Lord, that even when I cannot pray, the blood of Jesus is pleading for me in heaven.”
  7. Access - Say: “Thank you, God, that through the sprinkled blood of Jesus, I have access into your presence, into the holiest place of in the universe.
Remember, this gift of Jesus Christ for us, is for our total need to live a wonderful life with Him on earth and for ever more. Come to Him whenever, wherever, however, no matter what to receive His Joy.

Have a joyful Christmas 2023 and forevermore.
