It’s another wonderful moment again on the journey highlighting the greatness of Christmas 🎄.

Today is blogmas day 3 and I wish to appreciate you for your likings, comments and followings. It’s fantabulous!

Today, I will be writing on to why we Christians keep Christmas despite not a single mention in the Bible commanding its celebration.

Firstly, who is a Christian? Simply put, a Christian is any person who has accepted Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Savior.

Furthermore, what is Christmas? Christmas is a combination of two Greek terms; Christ which means Anointed One and Mass which means Celebration. Therefore Christmas is the celebration of the Anointed One – Jesus.

Because Jesus our Lord and Savior is the Anointed One, that is one of the reasons we celebrated Him.

Why was Jesus born in the first instance? Jesus was purposely born to die for our sins for the redemption of our souls. Somebody dying in your place deserves commendations and worship which we abundantly engaged in, during Christmastime.

Thirdly reason, we celebrate Christmas is because it is a fulfilment of prophecies prophesied in the Name of Lord God Almighty and we are happy that faithful is He that promised and that if He did not fail then, He can’t fail now.

Fourthly, we are celebrating God’s kind of love. Agape, unblemished, kind love because God practically lose nothing if we perish but He won’t want that for us because He loves us even when we are still sinners.

The second part of this fourth reason is that if God loves us, we too ought to love our neighbours and our of the best time to do so is now.

But, we are not told in the Bible to observe Christmas?🤷🤷

Are we told not to commemorate it in the Bible?

Christmas has its origin in pagan practices because it is the day Romans celebrate their unconquered sun so we shouldn’t do it?

Tell me a day that was created by Satan? I bet you none. God created everything including the days of the weeks and declared it blessed and good.

And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs and tokens [of God’s provident care], and [to mark] seasons, days, and years,
And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
(Christian Standard Bible (CSB)) God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed. Evening came and then morning: the sixth day.

Genesis 1:14, 31 (Amplified Bible)

What God has declared good and approving cannot be made bad and disapproving by Satan or any man.

Now, whose report will you believe?

In addition, like the days of the week and months of the year which the pagan world has dedicated to one false god or the another, so have they attached those wannabe gods to gold, silver, wood, soil, etc, which ain’t theirs in the first instance. Therefore, when we are celebrating Christmas, we are using what belongs to God to worship God. December 25th is inclusive.

Continuing, even the modern world has different days to celebrate and create awareness about different incurable diseases yet some of us deem it bad to dedicate a day to celebrate and create awareness about Christ – Our Healer.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Lastly, Christians celebrate Christmas because it is a daily affair.

To a true Christian, Noel is not a one day affairs because once we did anything that glorify God in any day of month, we are celebrating the Anointed one – Jesus.

Thanks for reading and I will like to hear your reasons for celebrating Christmas too.
