Why Believe?
Pastor Joel E. Gregory
“Why Believe?”
That is the question every one of us face every Christmas. Is this story of the Son of God coming as a human, born of a virgin, living a life of sinless love, and dying for sinners that all who believe might have eternal life true? Is this story a creation of human imagination because we need it to be true? Or is it true, and therefore we need to believe it?
So, I want to look at six witnesses who speak and testify to why the Son of God came into the world. The witnesses are Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, and the writer to the Hebrews. The answers they give are six reasons for Jesus' coming:
1. He came as a ransom for many.
- Mark 10:35-45 NKJV Ransom- redemptive price.
- Galatians 4:1-7 NKJV
- Hebrews 2:10-16 NKJV

2. He came to call sinners to repentance.
Luke 5:27-32 NKJV
Jesus came to call sinners to repentance. First, there needed to be a ransom to be paid for sinners. Then, there could be a successful call to sinners. The call is based on the ransom. And Jesus says he came for both of these things.
That is the meaning of Christmas. He came to pay a price and call sinners.
Luke 5:27-32 NKJV
Jesus came to call sinners to repentance. First, there needed to be a ransom to be paid for sinners. Then, there could be a successful call to sinners. The call is based on the ransom. And Jesus says he came for both of these things.
