"...Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love..." Jeremiah 31:3

Ephesians 1:4 says,
"For He (God) chose us in Him (Christ) before the creation of the world to
be holy and blameless in His sight..."   (My parenthesis)

Chosen before the creation of the world and loved with an everlasting love!
What amazing love that encompassed us from before birth to beyond the grave!

"See what [and incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are!..." 1 John 3:1 The Amplified Bible

In the fullness of time this amazing love rescued man from sin and death.
"But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons." Galatians 4:4

Have you ever thought that Mighty God who so loved had to wait until the time was right (the fullness of time) to rescue the objects of His love? We are so focused on our needs and wants waiting seems like God is not listening to our pleas.
However, Scripture tells us,
"But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 And we sing, "Teach me Lord.
Teach me Lord to wait."

God's amazing love,
"...did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

This birth we are celebrating is the true gift of Christmas. For it is the gift of love, life and light, to all who will believe. Even our belief by faith is a gift by His grace!
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8

Our salvation is the work of Almighty God alone! We could do nothing to save ourselves. Some think that they can gain heaven and eternal life through works; what a tragedy!

"But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit." Titus 3:4-5

Not only in our salvation was the Godhead involved, but He is ever present in our lives now. For we have this word in Christ Jesus, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him, nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." John 14:16-18

Hallelujah! With humble and grateful hearts, we say, thank you, LORD God!
Amen
