Why Did Jesus Christ Come In The Flesh?

 

Why would God send His Son to earth as a normal human being to redeem mankind?  Couldn't God have used His power as the Creator of the universe to restore man to Himself? The answer is No. Christ's coming in the flesh is very significant and important to His mission on earth.

 

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,”

- Romans 8:3 (NKJV).

 

To fully deal with the issue of sin, which could not be dealt with through the law, God had to send His Son. He sent Him in the likeness of sinful flesh to permanently deal with sin.

 

The Word Was Made Flesh

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

- John 1:1-2, 14 (NKJV).

 

Christ was there from the beginning of creation. And at the appointed time, the Word came as a man into this world. He was God and man at the same time on earth. Unfortunately, this is what the deceivers and the spirit of the antichrist have refused to accept. Hence, they're saying that God didn't come in the flesh, and as such Christ is a lie. So, to them, what Jesus claimed to represent and stood for were all false. Therefore, anyone who denies the coming of Jesus in the flesh is not of the Spirit of God but of the antichrist.

 

By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

- I John 4:2 (NKJV).

 

“For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

- 2 John 1:7 (NKJV).

 

WHY DID JESUS COME IN THE FLESH?

Must Be Born Of A Woman

In order for Christ to redeem man, He had to be born and live like a man. This is because God had given man the authority over the earth. Unfortunately, Adam sold out to the devil. And until man's tenure expires only a man has the legal right to take back that authority from the devil. Therefore, God prophesied from the very beginning to the serpent, that the seed of the woman, whom he had deceived, would bruise his head.

 

And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel. Read more...

Why Did Jesus Christ Come To The World

 

Why would Jesus leave the comfort of heaven, where He was God, and come to earth, where He would be mocked and killed? This question when answered will cause you to appreciate the love of God for mankind. And an understanding of the answer will help you hold unto your salvation in Christ. So, in this post, we will look at why Jesus came to the earth.

Jesus Came Into This World To:

1. Demonstrate God's Love

One major reason why Jesus came into this world was for God to demonstrate His love for us. Such that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. For, He gave His Son Jesus that whoever will believe in Christ will not perish but have everlasting life.

 

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

- Romans 5:8 (NKJV).

 

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

- John 3:16 (NKJV).

 

The state of the fallen man, full of shame and reproach, wasn't pleasing to God. For it was contrary to what He purposed for man. For His plan was for man to subdue the earth and have dominion over all He created. Unfortunately, when Adam disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit, this plan was thwarted. And the devil took the original place of man on earth, subduing and having dominion on earth.

 

However, the Lord's love for man would not allow Him to leave man in a defeated state. And this is why He sent Jesus to restore man back to his original state of authority. However, man can only receive this when he reconnects to God through Christ Jesus.

 

Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

- 2 Corinthians 5:18 (NKJV).

 

2. Do The Will Of God And Fulfill The Old Testament

All through the Old Testament, the prophets prophesied about the coming of Christ: His birth, why He was to come, and what will be done to him. And all these were the will of the Father, which He spoke about through the prophets. Therefore, Jesus came to fulfill the law and in the process do the will of His Father.

 

Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.’

- Hebrews 10:7 .NKJV).

 

Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

- Matthew 5:17-18 (NKJV).

 

Now, it is worth noting that if part of what the prophets said concerning Jesus happened, then whatever is remaining will also happen. And that includes Christ's second coming.
