 What is the Gospel? How Can I Be Saved?  



Jesus’ Birth in Bethlehem-Luke 2:1-7 (NASB)

1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. 2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. 4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, 5 in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. 6 While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.



He will save his people from their sins. God with us. Wow! These are staggering statements to make about someone. A child is born of the Holy Spirit, not of man. That child will go on to save people from their sins. He will be called “God with us.” If you think about anything this Christmas, think about that. The grace of God that sent his son to pay for our sin! Let us never forget what Jesus Christ has done for us! He bears our sin, He gives us His righteousness. We must only place our faith in Him!
