"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it."
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
Christmas is a story of a promise kept. And the promise of these verses extends to us today. We all long for the day when we are completely free of sin and it consequences in our lives. Christ's first coming gave us hope and peace with God. When all is fulfilled, we will receive our full inheritance as co-heirs with Christ.
Christmas reminds us that God is faithful. So as you enter into a new year with hope that it will bring a "better you" than the year before, take comfort in the sure hope that we celebrated at Christmas. The God we serve is faithful, and He keeps His promises!
