It was always an uphill battle to get two sons to clean their room. But one day a year, their room was amazing. The day before Christmas. They knew the rule. "There won't be any gifts until this room is clean." That might be what God is saying to some of us this Christmas season. "I've got so much I want to give you - but I can't until things are cleaned up."
See, God is a holy God and He can't bless us as long as we fail to deal with the wrong things we've done. Ultimately, He can't give us His greatest gift - heaven with Him forever.
But on Christmas, Jesus came here to pay the price for us to be forgiven. The Bible says, "The gift of God is eternal life" (Romans 6:23). Now, you can't earn that gift with all your religion or good deeds. Because they can't erase your sin, they can't make you clean. Only Jesus - the One who died for your sin - can do that.
And the gift isn't yours until you take it. And today, by faith, you can receive this greatest gift there is.
We'd love to help you do that if you'll call us at 888-NEED-HIM or chat with us at chataboutJesus.com. He has so much to give you - when you're clean.
