"I have lived in Israel for about 10 years and visited most of the places stated in the Bible and can boldly testify that the Bible story about the birth of Jesus Christ is true," he noted.

Bishop Frimpong was preaching at the festival of Nine Lessons and Carols organized by the Ashanti Regional Centre for National Culture (CNC) in Kumasi.

The event, which was on the theme: "Rejoicing in the Wonder of His Birth", saw beautiful performances by the Amammareso Agofomma, Amammareso Choral Group, the Anokye Players and the Acting Ashanti Regional Director of CNC.

Two retirees were awarded with parcels and citations to acknowledge their hard work and efforts in contributing to the achievements of the CNC.

Preaching on the sub-theme, "The Visitation of God," Bishop Frimpong said the birth of Jesus Christ was prophesized some 4,000 years ago before it occurred.
He said the purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ to the world was to die to save humanity from eternal damnation and bring humanity closer to God.

Bishop Frimpong said the relationship between God and humanity was destroyed when humans begun to sin against God by disobeying Him.

This, he noted, was the reason God visited the earth as Jesus Christ through human conception to give humanity another chance to eternal life.

According to him, there were sins, that required the shedding of blood to atone for them and that was why God came to visit humans just to atone for their sins to grant them eternal life.

As a result, Bishop Frimpong emphasized the need to preach about the birth of Jesus Christ and His purpose on earth so that many who believe would have eternal life.
He, therefore, encouraged Christians to speak boldly about the birth of Jesus Christ to others and not to heed to people who say the birth of the Christ was a fictional story created by the Westerners.
