Why did the Son of God visit planet earth?

What is is the true Christmas spirit?  It is a person  looking intently at the person of Christ, and realizing,that He came, through the Holy Spirit,, to offer Himself, as a sacrifice for sin. One of the greatest statements about the incarnation of Christ was said by the Apostle Paul;

 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,  that though he was rich, yet for your sake's he became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich  ( 2 Corinthians 8:9).

 He was rich in all of his glorious attributes but put aside the independent use of them.  He was rich in righteousness  and He died for us ,and in our place.

 2 Corinthians 5:21. says, He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (NASB). 

The Hymn writer, Issac Watts, says about this: Was it for crimes that I have done,  He groaned upon the tree?  Amazing pity! Grace unknown!  And love beyond degree!  Well might the sun in darkness hide,  And shut its glories in,  When God, the mighty maker, died  For His own creature's sin. 

3. It recognizing that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and the LORD of LORDS.  He  now sits at the right hand of God and will some day rule from His throne in Jerusalem.. .See Philippians 2:9-11.

Charles Wesley said:
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
 Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

 The United States is fast becoming a nation who wants the spirit of Christmas, without the Christ. of Christmas.?What can we do this season to honor Christ?  We can share the gospel with our neighbors, our friends and even those we barely know. We can share the good news that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins in our place. 

The apostle John tells us in His epistle:Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;  and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; This is the spirit of the Antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world(1 John4:1-4).
