“Why We Should Celebrate Christmas”

Why some Christians don’t celebrate Christmas.

1. It’s a man-made holiday not found in the Bible.

The title of Christmas may not be found in the Bible, but

Christmas is in the Bible.

Psalm 24:1 NKJV


The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,

The world and those who dwell therein.


God owns everything and everyone.

There is nothing in the Bible that either commands or

prohibits Christmas trees.

What we worship is what we set our hearts and minds on.


Romans 1:25 HCSB


They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped

and served something created instead of the Creator,


who is praised forever.


2. It’s wrong to celebrate Christmas because it is a pagan

holiday.

Why We Celebrate Christmas.


1. To honor and remember the Birth of Jesus Christ our only

Savior.

Christmas is the celebration of a true historical event that

restored real hope to the human race.


What effect does it have when we celebrate Jesus' birth?

1. The devil hates it.

2. It provides an opportunity to reach the unreached

people of the world.
