“ This is how the birth of Jesus the
Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but
before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy
Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and
yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to
divorce her quietly. But after he had considered
this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
“Joseph son of
David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is
conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son,
and you are to give him the name Jesus because he will save his people from
their sins.” ( Jesus means the Lord saves.)
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had
said through the prophet (Isaiah 7:14): “The virgin will conceive and give
birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the
Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not
consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the
name Jesus.( Matthew 1:18-25 NIV)
According to the Bible, the
first man and woman, Adam and Eve had disobeyed God and acted on their free
will. God must have been angry with them. Therefore, God had sent out them from
His presence. Without God, Adam and Eve and all their descendants (all men and
women on earth) live a miserable life under the control of sin and its powerful
influences. So, all people face problems, suffering and death. Besides, in the
absence of God, all have to suffer in hell after death.
God loves us so much that He
made a plan to save us from this power of sin. Therefore, He sent His Son, Jesus
to save all the people of the world from the power of sin and its consequences,
eternal death. Jesus came to this world as human being but was not from the
blood of man. His Mother Mary was a virgin, who was conceived from the Holy
Spirit (God).
All men and women of this
world are from the blood of man and women. No man, born of the blood of man and
woman can save us from the power of sin.
Jesus was born from the Holy
Spirit and not from human blood. Jesus is the only one who can save us from sin
and its consequences - eternal condemnation and eternal death. All who believe
and accepted Him (Jesus) as personal Lord and Saviour will be saved.
The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son(Jesus
Christ), that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal
life.”(John 3:16)
If you want to be saved, pray the following as prayer by filling in the
gapes with your name :
“God so loved the ______________ that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus
Christ), that ______________ believes
in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
God bless you.
