Keeping Christ in our homes can be done in various ways. From items that decorate our house to the way we treat people, Jesus can be seen in a multitude of ways.
As we’re heading into the Christmas season, it is refreshing to have a home filled with Christ-centred decorations so that we can focus on what the celebration is for. Here are some ways to bring the life of Jesus into your home this Christmas, and some appealing decor that can beautifully adorn your home all year long.
Names of Jesus Banner
Display the many names of Jesus in your home on a banner or a tree during the Christmas season to remember why we are celebrating.
Pictures of Jesus
Placing pictures of Jesus in bedrooms and living spaces puts Christ in each room as a reminder of His love.
Jesse Tree
A Jesse Tree is a great way to remember the significance of the season and a way to bring the story of Jesus into your home each day.
Nativity Scene
Whether you have fragile figures of a nativity scene or a hands-on children set, this is a great reminder of Jesus’ birth and saving grace for our lives.
Bible Quotes as Wall Decorations
You can purchase decorative plaques with scripture on them or get creative and create wall hangings yourself (or just write or print your favourite bible passages) and place them around your home. Read them each time you pass by as a reminder of God’s love for us.
Christian Music in the Background
Having inspiring music in the background is a great way to bring Christ into your home. The words of each song bring your soul closer to His love.
Angels
Angels on your tree or as decorations around your home are a great way to remember the way God sent His message to the world.
Advent Calendar
Read a Bible verse each day and talk about Jesus.
Prayer Area
Set up an area that you can use for prayer. It can be as simple as a basket with Christian books, a Bible, prayer cards, etc.
Advent Wreath
Symbolizing the four weeks of advent, an advent wreath is a great way to spend time in prayer and reflection on the birth of Jesus.
Christian Ornaments
Stars, angels, scripture, Bibles, wise men, anything that symbolizes Jesus and God’s love is a great way to decorate your Christmas tree.
Christian Christmas Books
Christmas books that bring God into our hearts and remind us of the reason for the Christmas joy are a great way to bring Christ into our homes.
Lights on Tree and House
Jesus is the Light of the world. When we put lights on our house and tree, we bring that light into our modern world as a reminder of His love for us.
Straw in the Manger
Put an empty manger in your home and put a piece of straw in the manger every time someone does an act of kindness. By Christmas, you will have a manger ready for the baby Jesus.
Décor is a wonderful way to show your faith, but your actions will always be the most important part of bringing your faith to the world and your home. Live a Christ-filled life every day, and you will bring the Good News of the Gospel to those around you.
