To celebrate your birthday, we will hang up pictures of you in your crib — to show we know who this is all about, you know. Generally, though, we will disregard you in favor of other festive and seasonal activities. If anyone gets around to remembering you, it will be to reminisce about your birth and baby days.

Why God Sent His Son

God said He sent His Son that we might live, to be the solution for our sins, and that He might adopt us. Why else?

God sent His Son into the world…

  • “that we might live through him” (1 John 4:9).
  • “to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10).
  • “that we might receive the adoption of sons” (Galatians 4:4-5).

If you know another reason, please state it below.

Above all, love God!
