LIFE
When the Christ Child arrived in Bethlehem, those many years ago, wise men brought gifts fit for a king. We take our Christmas tradition of gift exchanges from this example in antiquity.
The truth is that it was God who initiated the gift giving. He gave the gift of his Son, Jesus, and it was manifested in three ways. He was and is the gift of LOVE, the gift of LIGHT and the gift of LIFE.

Jesus is life. He is actual factual life. If you believe trust in and rely upon) you will live. There is a transfer/exchange at Salvation (his life for ours). He has the power. He created life itself.
John 14:6 says, “I am the way the truth in the life. No one comes to the father but by me.” “That’s narrow!“ No, actually he made it possible for all sinners to go to heaven by trusting in him.
1 John 5:11-13 says, “The witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son does not have a life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the son of God in order that you might know that you have eternal life.” If you believe, you have the Son, you belong to God and you have his Life.
John 10:10 says, “I come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.“
When a person believes in Christ (trusts in relies upon), that one will live eternally. There is a transfer/exchange at the point of Salvation (Christ’s life for ours). He has this power. He created life itself (Jhn 1:4; 3:15).
BELIEVE IN HIM AND KNOW
A jailer asked the Apostle Paul and and his companion Silas, “What must I do to be saved?” The answer was for them then and for us today as well. “Believe in Jesus and you will be saved” (Acts 16:30,31).
