The sermon centers on the stark contrast between the inevitable consequence of sin—death—and the divine gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. It emphasizes that all humanity, born into a fallen state through Adam's rebellion, inherits a sinful nature that renders both body and soul subject to death and eternal separation from God, making hell the just reward for unrepentant sin. Yet, in profound grace, God sent His Son, who humbled Himself by becoming fully human, living a perfect life, enduring the full wrath of God on the cross, and rising in victory over death to secure salvation. Christ's work as the faithful high priest and eternal mediator now enables believers to approach God with confidence, receiving not their due punishment but the free gift of eternal life. The message calls listeners to choose between receiving the wages of sin—death—or embracing God's gift through faith in Christ, urging a personal response to the Christmas invitation: to lay down one's sin and receive the perfect gift of salvation.
