Righteousness

Matthew 1:1-17

There are peculiar characters in the lineage of Jesus and in His story who found favor with God. 

Matthew 1:24, Luke 1:5-6, 27- 28, 2:8, 25, 36-37

Joshua 2:1-21

Rahab heard about God and his power, and she believed it.

Rahab disobeyed her earthly king and did what was right in God’s eyes to save herself and her family.

Rahab’s faith and actions put her in Matthew’s list, but there is a more important list to be on. Luke 10:20

Jesus came so that our names could be in His book of life and in heaven with Him forever. 

Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5, 13:8, 20:15, 21:27

Salvation is the greatest Christmas gift
