12/22/13 GOOD NEWS FOR ALL PEOPLE
DLG note... I know you know these six passages, but read them again with His birth in mind. CAPS added for emphasis.
Luke 2:10-11
(10) And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be TO ALL PEOPLE.
(11) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
John 1:6-12
(6) There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
(7) The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that ALL MEN THROUGH HIM MIGHT BELIEVE.
(8) He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
(9) That was the true Light, which lighteth EVERY MAN THAT COMETH INTO THE WORLD.
(10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
(11) He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
(12) BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME:
Romans 1:16
(16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
1 Timothy 4:9-10
(9) This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
(10) For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, specially of THOSE THAT BELIEVE.
2 Peter 3:9
(9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE.
Revelation 22:16-17
(16) I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
(17) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And WHOSOEVER WILL, let him take the water of life freely.
