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...
