Redemption through God's grace
Ephesians 1:3-8a (NKJV)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, bu which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
8 which He made to abound toward us...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not a traditional Christmas passage, but this captures the reason for Jesus' coming. He came to give grace and spiritual blessings. In Him we have redemption through His blood!
Remember why we celebrate.
