Today we celebrate the love of God for us all. Without the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, we would have no hope for now, no solution to life’s challenges, and a bleak future. God created us to fellowship with Him. His heart yearning was for a human family that He could love and who would love Him and desire to be with Him. In the original creation, the earth was perfect, and human life was endless and beautiful. There was no sin, no sickness, no death, no strife, no hatred, no
