O Lord, you have searched me & you know me. (Psalm 139:1). God searched for us & found us. He demonstrated His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He took our sins & gave us His righteousness. This is the great exchange. Before Christ died on the cross for our sins, we, the Gentiles, were lost, our sins were not forgiven, we were not connected to the real God. We had no fellowship with God. We thank God through Christ for making it possible for us to have a direct relationship & fellowship with Him. Christ restored the broken fellowship with God. We give God all the praise & glory.

We know that all the founding fathers of religion died & never rose again. Their bones are still in their graves. Only Christ was resurrected. He is alive & seated on the throne with the Father. His tomb is empty. We celebrate His birth today. I put to action angels under our complement. Let them guard us & minister to our needs. In Jesus name we pray, believe & give you thanks, Amen. Immanuel: God with us. Heaven Rules. Merry Christmas to you.

If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
