God’s Gift

 Luke 2:10-11 (NASB)

¹⁰  But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;

¹¹  for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

 Ephesians 2:4-9 (NASB)

⁴  But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

⁵  even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

⁶  and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

⁷  so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

⁸  For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

⁹  not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
