Focus Verse: Luke 2:11 “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
There
are three important dates in the life of every believer which provide a way for us to have a relationship with God. The first important date is Christmas. We are not sure if
the date Christ was born was on December 25th, but we are sure that
there was a day when he left heaven to come to this earth, and was born
of a virgin. If there were no reason for Christmas, we would not have
the opportunity for heaven.
The second important date is the Resurrection Day. Easter is the date that Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ. He paid for the penalty of sin through taking it upon himself, a spotless innocent savior, then dying on a cross. A price that we could not pay for ourselves. If there was no resurrection, then we would not have the opportunity for heaven. This life and death of Christ is a sacrificial gift that God is offering to every person on earth.
The third important date
is the day you were born again. This is the date that you received
God’s free gift of Christ into your life. Without this third important
date in your life, you will have a relationship with God and you will not be going to heaven. If you have never
invited Christ into your life by accepting this free gift of salvation,
what better time to repent of your sins and follow Christ than today? These three dates are of
upmost importance in your life. If you leave out any one of the three,
there is no salvation and no eternity in heaven.
