We continue "The Gift of God" Theme into the New Year. The Son of God took on flesh in order to be our perfect substitute. You see, when God created mankind in his image, his desire was that we would live holy lives, full of love for him and our fellow man. When mankind fell into sin, that became impossible. So, the heavenly Father sent Jesus to keep all of his law perfectly. Jesus’ saving work began the moment he was born (yes, even conceived!), as a full human being under the law, just as we are, and yet obeyed it perfectly.
We thank God for sending Christ as our life-encompassing substitute!
