The Reason for the Season

December 10, 2017 Speaker: Michael Knight Series: Christmas

Topic: Christmas Passage: Galatians 4:1–7

What is the reason for the Christmas season?

 

I. Christ came so we could be redeemed.
- Redeem means to recover from the power of another.

  • His death paid the penalty for our sins and satisfied God’s wrath that should have been placed on us. (Hebrews 9:28; I Peter 2:24)
  • The ransom price was the blood of Christ. (Hebrews 9:12)

II. Christ came so we could be adopted.

  • When adopted, you become God’s child. (Galatians 3:26)
  • When adopted, you receive God’s Spirit. (Ephesians 4:30; Romans 8:15-17)
  • When adopted, God becomes your Father.
  • When adopted, you have an inheritance.
    What do we inherit?
    - Eternal life (Titus 3:7)
    - God’s presence (Revelation 21:3)
    - The very glory of God (Romans 5:1-2)
    - Everything because we are fellow heirs with Christ (Hebrews 1:2; Romans 8:15-17)
