Three Reason Why Birthdays Should be Celebrated
Three Reason Why Birthdays Should be Celebrated
Life in itself should be celebrated because it is a gift!
14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
Each day is a platform for life.
A measured moment in which life exist.
It is a privilege to live today and have the opportunity to life for the one who gave it to you.
Yet God gave us the free will to choose to whom and how you want to spend this one time gift He has given you.
Life is brief.
Just like any day, there is morning and then evening. Life also starts at conception and concludes at a given appointed time with death.
Realizing the brevity of life why not celebrate because todays age will not come back.
14 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
Life on Earth is brief and temporary but life in itself is eternal.
A question about time is often ask: Where did time go? Answer: the past
Today is Sonny and Mela’s birthday and it will be another 365 days until they get to celebrate it again.
Even this moment is temporary.
Usually anything temporary takes second position with what permanent but in life’s case here on Earth, because of its briefness, should be celebrated.
We have our calendar years to remind us annually and we have our watches to remind us daily.
If life is brief then let’s make is count, and let’s make the most of it and that is with other lives.
Life is a reflection of God’s goodness
27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
God is a triune being - FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT
Man is also triune being - SOUL, SPIRIT and BODY
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.
7 Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
But the Adam and Eve messed it up for us. Yes the devil provided the temptation and they freely chose to follow him instead of their creator - God!
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Because of sin death entered into this world but because of God’s goodness He made a way to restore what use to be by giving us hope.
It was not our choice to be created but because of God’s goodness you were created. You that it’s good to be alive, right? Because we don’t want to die.
6 “The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and raises up.
But the bible says man is spiritually dead and if God is able to breath into us life then He can do it again and He has done it through Christ but to have it we must make a choice to receive it.
1 Samule 2:6
16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
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.
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
