Obey and Fear Not
The forgotten miracle. (Matthew 1:18-23, NIV)
Rely more on God’s Word and the Holy Spirit than feelings. God’s Word is true even when it looks impossible.
You will always be happier responding according God’s Word rather than according to feelings. It takes a righteous man or woman to respond correctly instead of overreacting.
The righteous want to do what’s right. (Matthew 1:19. NIV)
When we have the right relationship with God the right fellowship with Him through Jesus Christ, we will do what’s right even when it looks wrong. You can know if you have a religion or relationship by the way you respond when you feel you have been wronged. The closer the relationship and fellowship with God, the more you want what’s best for the other person.
God blesses righteousness. (Matthew 1:20-21, NIV)
God blesses those who do what’s right. God’s faithful to those who have faith.
_________, don’t be afraid to do whatever it is that God is telling you to do. (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV)
The real reason Christmas is celebrated is because God gave us the greatest gift, His Son, so we can be saved. (Matthew 1:21, NIV) Until you know Jesus as your Savior, you are never truly whole. (Ecclesiastes 3:11, NIV)
The present for His presence. (Matthew 1:22-23, NIV)
God gave us the greatest present in the world, Jesus, where He can now be in presence with you. Jesus faced all the same tests, temptations, hurts, sorrows, and yet did not sin. (Hebrews 4:14-16, NLT2)
We, as sinners, can now come to God, receive mercy for our failures and find grace in time of need.
