because we now know what He gives us:
A PEACE that can never be disturbed = John 14:27
JOY that can never be diminished = John 15:11
A RIGHTEOUSNESS that can never be tarnished = 2 Corinthians 5:21
A NEARNESS to God that can never be reversed = Ephesians 2:13
A SALVATION that can never be canceled = Hebrews 5:8-9
A HOPE that can never be disappointed = Hebrews 6:17-20
An INHERITANCE that can never be lost = 1 Peter 1:3-4
And this is just one of the many reasons why we greet others with "Merry Christmas!"
