The WORD Became Flesh



In the book of John in the Bible, he records, "In the beginning the Word was GOD, the WORD was with GOD, and in John 1:14 it says, "The WORD became flesh and made His dwelling among us. " Jesus is GOD in the flesh. (Matthew 1:23)

Genesis creation account has GOD the Father, GOD the Son (Jesus Christ), God the Holy Spirit involved, "Let Us make man in Our image." (Genesis 1:26)

Why did GOD come in the flesh of Jesus Christ? He came for the sacrifice of taking all of mankind's sins upon Him. To think He suffered not only the beatings, ripping of His flesh from the cat-of-nine-tails, nailed through His hands and feet onto the Cross, but mostly He took upon Him billions times trillions to the quadrillions of power the sins of mankind from Adam/Eve to the last human He will create. The penalty for sin has been paid for, but each and every person has to reconcile himself or herself by asking forgiveness of Christ. 




This is where the last post picks up, accepting or rejecting so great a salvation. Upon accepting Christ's salvation invites His Holy Spirit into your life where He has promised, "I will never leave you nor forsake you!" (Hebrews 13:5) Also in another, He has the promise, "The world and its desires pass away, but the man (woman) who does the will of GOD lives forever." (I John 2:17)

Those who harden their hearts to the call of salvation, refusing salvation, denying salvation will be responsible for paying the penalty for their own sin in an everlasting, eternal Lake of Fire; no second chances. (Revelation 20:15) The thermal dynamics there will not be the thermal dynamics of this universe. You will be burning in the flames yet your body won't be consumed.
(Luke 16:24) While the flames are burning, you will be in total darkness gnashing your teeth! (Matthew 8:12, 13:42) "Where your worm does not die  and the fire is not quenched." (Mark 9:48) WHY would you want to choose this eternal state! 

Rather, choose Christ and His blessing of your salvation! Read Revelation chapters 21-22! What a glorious eternal existence is waiting for you and all who accept so great a salvation in Jesus Christ!
