#EaglesDevotional - CHRISTMAS - WHY DID HE COME?

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8 )

There are many people who celebrate Christmas but do not understand what Christmas is about. They know that Jesus came but they do not know why He came or why was He born? The son of God was born that he might destroy the works of the devil and atone us back to God. That is the reason why He came.

Sin is the work of the devil that Jesus came to destroy. Other works of the devil include: poverty, discouragement, fear, sickness, disappointments, etc. However, it is through sin that every other work of the devil comes. That is why the bible in 1 John 3:8 says, “he that commiteth sin is of the devil for the devil sinneth from the beginning...”

The devil has used the power of sin to enslave people. You do not teach a child how to tell lies, the child just tells a lie. It is almost like it is inbuilt. There is no injection or hospital that can cure fornication and adultery or any other type of sin.  There is no decree by government that can change the heart of man. The Bible says, the heart of man is desperately wicked, who can know it?

It is only God who knows the heart of man because God made man. If God made man, then only God can cure man. Even among people who go to church, the heart of man is wicked. Many Christians have hatred in their hearts. Only God has the power to change the heart of man.

After the fall of man, evil became a part of man but Jesus came to destroy the power of sin and evil. That power must break from your life in Jesus name. In Romans 7:24-25, Paul said, “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord...”

It is only Jesus that can save you. Submit yourself to Him today, let him deliver you. That is the reason why He came; to destroy every work of the devil in your life.

Prayer/Confession: In the name of Jesus, you came to destroy every work of the devil in my life therefore, by your blood; I break the power of sin and every work of the devil (sickness, depression, oppression, etc) from my life in Jesus name. I command you lose you hold. I have hope in the name of Jesus.
