MOST CERTAINLY

fear of God, treating Him with worshipful

obedience and living uprightly,

is acceptable to Him and sure of

which He sent to Israel, announcing

THE BIRTH OF JESUS FORETOLD

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a

town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named

Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The

Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and

give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He … Continue Reading
