The Birth of Christ - Day 31 Scripture Writing

Hello, everyone. Today I present my scripture-writing journal page for December 31.  This will conclude my scripture-writing plan for December.  I truly enjoyed making these pages and found them to be incredibly uplifting and faith-strengthening.  I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Today's scripture is John 3:16, which is a pivotal Bible verse that summarizes the core Christian message of the gospel.  God's immense love for humanity led Him to send His only begotten Son, Jesus, to earth so that whoever believes in Him will receive eternal life. Contextually, Jesus speaks this to Nicodemus, a Pharisee, explaining God's saving act as a demonstration of love and emphasizing faith in Him as the way to move from death to everlasting life. God did not give His Son to create love in His heart for us, but because He already loved us. Jesus willingly gave his life for me, for you, and for each and every one of us.

Many Bibles show red lettering for Jesus's words so I have added red pen to my writing of the scripture.

The Birth of Christ - Day 30 Scripture Writing

Hello, everybody. Today I am sharing my scripture-writing journal page for December 30.

Galatians 4:4-5 emphasizes God's perfect timing, Jesus's dual nature (divine and human), His life under the law as our substitute, and the resulting adoption of believers as children of God through faith, not works, highlighting the great love and purpose behind Christ's coming to save humanity from sin's penalty. 

Jesus was Jewish, subject to God's Law, which He perfectly fulfilled. Jesus' birth demonstrated His full humanity and His identification with humanity under the Law's requirements and condemnation, living a sinless life to meet those demands. Christ's life and death under the Law redeemed people from its curse, allowing believers to receive the "adoption of sons" (or children) by faith, becoming heirs with Christ.

The Birth of Christ - Day 29 Scrpture Writing

Hi, everyone. Today I present my scripture-writing journal page for December 29.

1 Timothy 1:15-17 is a core message of mercy and salvation, a beacon for believers, and a testament to God's transformative power.  Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and Paul, as the chief of sinners, became the ultimate example of God's mercy and patience, leading to eternal life for believers. It's a powerful declaration of God's saving grace, showing how Jesus' mission extends even to the worst offenders, making Paul a living testament to this immense power and patience.  It shows that Christ's mercy is for everyone, making believers examples of eternal life through faith. The passage culminates in worship for the "King eternal, immortal, invisible," underscoring God's supreme glory.

The Birth of Christ - Day 28 Scripture Writing

Hello, everyone. Today I present my scripture-writing journal page for December 28.

Romans 6:23 highlights the stark choice between sin's consequence (death) and God's free gift (eternal life in Christ), emphasizing that salvation is a choice, not automatic, and is attained through faith in Jesus's sacrificial work, making believers heirs of salvation and capable of overcoming sin's power. The verse shows how Christ's death satisfied justice, offering a path to escape the death sentence, and underscores the call to choose God's way over Satan's.

The Choice:  It presents a clear choice between the wages of sin (death) and God's gift (eternal life).

Christ's Sacrifice: Christ's death paid the penalty for sin, making salvation accessible to all who accept it.

Freedom of Choice: Humans are given freedom to choose between serving sin or God, with ample evidence provided for the right choice.

Victory over Sin: Accepting the gift of eternal life empowers believers to escape Satan's power and live victoriously.

Condemnation for Refusal: Those who reject this gift will face judgment, with the cross of Calvary serving as evidence of God's love and their willful disobedience.

In essence, Romans 6:23 teaches that while all humanity is under the death sentence of sin (Romans 3:23 - “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”) Jesus's finished work on the cross makes the free gift of eternal life available to all, a gift that brings freedom from sin's dominion and secures a future with God for those who embrace it.

The Birth of Christ - Day 27 Scripture Writing

Hello, everyone. Today I would like to share my scripture-writing journal page for December 27.

John 1:14 signifies Jesus' divine nature becoming truly human, revealing God's character as a perfect example, a bridge between heaven and humanity, and the source of salvation, emphasizing that His humanity wasn't a disguise but a genuine union of divine and human, allowing us to see God in Him and become like Him through His transforming grace and truth.

The Birth of Christ - Day 26 Scripture Writing

Hello, everybody. Today I present my scripture-writing journal page for December 26. These verses continue on in the Gospel of Matthew from yesterday's page (Day 25).

Matthew 2:7-12 describes the wise men, also known as "Magi," secretly questioning King Herod about the newborn "King of the Jews," whom Herod then cunningly questions about the star's appearance to learn the child's age and location, intending harm, and sends the Magi to Bethlehem, asking them to report back. 

Historically, "Magi" referred to priests or wise men, possibly Persian astrologers, known for special knowledge. Guided by the star, the Magi find Jesus in a house (not a stable as often depicted), worship Him, and offer gifts of gold (kingship), frankincense (divinity), and myrrh (foreshadowing suffering/burial). Warned in a dream not to return to Herod, the Magi leave by a different route, protecting Jesus from the jealous king's deadly plans. 

Significance of this text - it shows early recognition of Jesus by Gentiles (non-Jews), and establishes the contrast between true worship (Magi) and wicked ambition (Herod).

The Birth of Christ - Day 25 Scripture Writing

Hello, everyone. A popular saying these days is "Jesus is the reason for the season," but to me Jesus is the reason for every season and every day of our lives!  Not just for "Christmas," when the world celebrates His birth, but for every moment of life. Through every season - joys, challenges, and transitions - He remains our hope, our Saviour, and the constant expression of God’s unchanging love.

Today I am sharing my scripture-writing journal page for December 25. These verses continue on in the Gospel of Matthew from yesterday's page (Day 24).

Matthew 2:3-6 describes King Herod's fear and disturbance upon hearing from the wise men about the newborn "King of the Jews," leading him to consult chief priests and scribes who, quoting Micah 5:2, identified Bethlehem as the Messiah's birthplace, the place from which a ruler would come to shepherd Israel.  I wrote about Micah 5:2 prophecy on Day 3.
