Christmas is the celebration of Christ’s coming into the world Lk. 2:10-12. It marks the gift of God, embodied in Jesus Christ. Understanding why Christ came is crucial for us to truly benefit from Christmas Psa. 119:144. Without this understanding, Christmas can become merely a religious ceremony, offering little more than excitement Pro. 21:16.

Why Did Jesus Christ Come to the World?

  1. To bring salvation to mankind.

Through Adam’s sin in the Garden of Eden, humanity fell into sin and bondage Rms. 8:20-22. Christ came to save us from this bondage Mat. 1:21; Jn. 3:36.

  1. To restore joy to mankind.

Before man was created, the earth was a place of sorrow Rev. 12:12. Christ came to provide access joy amidst life challenges Lk. 2:10; 1Pet. 1:8.

  1. To bring peace to humanity.

the earth is fraught with troubles Jn. 16:33. The coming of Christ established peace for humanity Lk. 2:14; Jn. 14:27.

  1. To restore divine presence to man.

Divine presence was lost through man’s transgression Gen. 3:23-24. Christ came to restore our access to God’s presence Isa. 7:14; Mat. 28:20.

  1. To give man life at its best.

After the fall, humanity lived below God’s intended quality of life Gen. 3:16,17-19. Christ came to offer abundant life Jn. 10:10; Gal. 3:13-14.

  1. To destroy the works of the devil.

all negativity, which include sickness, disease, poverty, failure, and all forms of oppressions, come from the devil Mat. 13:27-28. Christ came to dismantle these evil works 1Jn. 3:8; Acts 10:38; Isa. 53:1-4.

  1. To restore the supernatural back to mankind.

Humanity lost its supernatural capacity at the fall. Christ came to empower us to reclaim that ability Jn. 3:8; Mk. 16:15-17.

How to Enjoy the Blessings of the Coming of Christ.

  1. Receive Christ as Lord and Savior

participating in church activities is not enough, one must accept His gifts, this is the person of Jesus Christ Jn. 1:12; 3:3-5.

  1. Believe is the provisions of redemption.

We must accept that Christ promises are valid and expect them to manifest in our lives Isa. 53:1-4. They include power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing Rev. 5:12.

  • Engage the obedience of faith to His word.

God’s instruction must be followed to qualify for His provisions Deu. 28:1-2; Jn. 2:5. For instance, one must repent from sin to be saved Acts 2:37-38, believe to be healed Isa. 53:1-4; Mat. 9:27-29, give to prosper Lk. 6:38; 2Cor. 9:6-8, continue to seek first God’s kingdom to flow in favor Psa. 102:13-15; Mat. 6:33, and make demands for our rights through prayer to take delivery of them Mat. 7:11; Mk. 11:24; Jms. 4:2.

In conclusion, God has provided everything for a glorious life, both here on earth and hereafter Jn. 3:16. Christ came to fulfil God’s plans for our lives 1Jn. 3:8. If anyone is not experiencing this glorious life, it may be due to their lack of compliance to necessary instruction.

To anyone reading this that will love to give his/her life to Christ, pray this prayer out loud with me from your heart: “Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you today. Forgive me my sins; wash me with your blood. I believe you died for me, on the third day you rose again that I may be justified. Right now, I believe that my sins are forgiven; I’m justified by your blood; I’m born-again; I’m saved; I’m a child of God; I’m free from the power of sin to serve the living God. Thank you Jesus for receiving me; thank you Jesus for restoring me; thank you Jesus for saving me.”

Prayer.

  • Father, in the name of Jesus, endow me with the grace for obedience to the demands for me to enjoy all the benefits of your coming to the earth 28:1-2.
  • Father, in the name of Jesus, I command that all the redemptive rights shall become the reality of my life from now 5:12.
