Deny Yourself - At Christmas?

At this time of the year we celebrate the birth of Christ. It is a great time of rejoicing and thankfulness for God’s grace in sending His Son to be the Savior of mankind.

However, it does you no good to celebrate this fact unless you have experienced the salvation that Christ came to give. Many people know that Christ came in to the world and they believe that He is the Savior. They believe that Christ died for sinners and rose again.

However, just knowing and believing those facts won’t get you into heaven. Demons know and believe those facts. You must know these facts and you must believe them, but you must also repent of your sin and commit yourself completely to Jesus Christ.

Jesus said that you must deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. That’s a call to total commitment. Have you done that?

If so, then rejoice in your great Savior.
