In the Christmas film Spirited starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds, one of the best songs is "Unredeemable".

It manages to unpack mankind's age-old question of being able to be forgiven for their past wrongs.

One thing I love about the message of Christmas is that we can know that the human heart is redeemable, but not by our strength and sheer willpower.

For those searching for the solution, it can found in the work of Jesus.

Hard work is involved in keeping from the things (such as sin) that cause us to be less than worthy, but it does not provide the resolution we desire.

Ultimately, the work was done by Jesus Christ on the cross for humanity. The primary step people need to make is turning to Him and receiving the best Christmas gift ever:

one of redemption through the grace of God.
