How good do we have to be to gain God’s approval? In this brief message, Alistair Begg explains how the Christmas story is the good news of salvation, not simply good advice to “be good for goodness sake.” We are reminded that it is God alone who saves. It is through our self-surrender to the finished work of Jesus Christ, not through our self-efforts, that we are made acceptable to God.
