God Became a Man

Who is God?

That is probably the most significant question any person could ever ask. Maybe you are wondering, 'well Jon, God is not a person, He can't be, that is impossible.' My friends if that is your conclusion, you will have an eternity of misery that awaits you. We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God, that is what Romans 3:23 says. Therefore, if we have no forgiveness of sins, if we have no way to get right with God, we all face an eternity of misery.

Thanks be to God, for He became a man, and bore the wrath we deserve. This is what the word of God says:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'") And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Fathers side, he has made him known."
~John 1:1-17

Jesus was the Word. He became a man to crush the head of the serpent (Genesis 3:15). Sin has been dealt with. Jesus conquered the works of the devil on the cross. We now have a way to be made right with God.

My brothers and sisters, the righteous live by faith. So are you picking up your cross daily and following Jesus? Die to sin and be alive in God.

Unbeliever, know this, today is the day of salvation. Repent and believe in the only Son of God. For through Jesus, we can be made blameless before God.
