Why Must We Celebrate Christmas

We celebrate Christmas every year on December 25 as the birth date of Jesus.  Because, Jesus was born to atone for our sins. He died so that we may become ‘the Children of God by believing Him (John 1;12). He died but rouse again and is alive today and for eternity. All believers who received Him will have eternal life (John 3:16). In His death and resurrection, all believers become the family members of God and will live eternally with God.

This is why, we Christians should celebrate Christmas, to thank God for His saving grace as the Bible tells us, “‘Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,’ declares the LORD.”( Zechariah 2:10)
 Further, the angel that announced the birth to the shepherds brought “good news of great joy that will be for all the people” (Luke 2:10).
Therefore, celebrate Christmas  for the glory of God.

God bless you.
