Christmas Gifts From JesusSample

The Gift of Pardon

She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21 (ESV).

Jesus came to earth with a mission to save us from our sins. His name, Jesus, means “The Lord saves.” This pardon is not something we can earn; it is a gift freely given to us through His sacrifice. When we receive Jesus, we are forgiven and granted the right to become children of God (John 1:12).

Have you accepted the gift of Jesus’ pardon? How does knowing you are forgiven change the way you live?

Prayer: Father God, thank You for the incredible gift of Your Son, Jesus. Thank You for pardoning my sins and making me a child of God. Help me to live in the freedom and joy of Your forgiveness every day. In Jesus name, Amen.
