THE VISIT OF GOD TO MAN

GOD"S VISIT TO MAN

This write-up is a must read for everybody,  no matter your religious affiliation.  I want to profoundly express the visit of God to man that we might understand the purpose and the how of that visitation, our response to the visitation and enjoy the benefits of it.
Before we go further in this discourse,  I want us to look through book of Psalms 8:4-6
"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet ":
From the scriptures we
By the breath of God into statute of which we are formed into a living being makes us children of God,  and that made us to share in His life and to live forever if not for sin. As a result of sharing His image and likeness He loves us and mindful of us.
Consider,  whatever you are mindful of you cherish.  Whatever you are mindful of you handle with care.  Despite man was separated from God because of the sin of Adam and Eve but His love for wouldn't allow Him to abandon man. Despite man's sinfulness God didn't want to give up on man because he is carrying His breath,  image and likeness.
In order to redeem man God has to visit man.  How could He do that?  He did that by His word becoming flesh.  "And the Word was made 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 1:14
According to Quran 4:171, it is  boldly written that Jesus is MESSIAH, the WORD of God and the SPIRIT OF GOD. If Jesus is the Messiah then He is the Anointed Deliverer,  because Messiah means Anointed one.  If He is the Word of God, then He is God because the word of God is God.  If He is the Spirit of God according to Quran  then He is God.  In the Bible it clearly written that Jesus is the Word of God. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men". John 1:1-5
Jesus being the Word of God that became flesh John 1:14, to confirm what was written in Isaiah 7: 14  "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.   Even Quran 19:20-22 also says Jesus was born of a virgin.  Immanuel means God with us. Therefore,  the Word of God becoming flesh and being born of a virgin to avoid being polluted by sin means Jesus coming to earth is God's visit to man.  I repeat Jesus is God's visit to man.
What is the purpose of the visit?
1.    To reconcile man back to God.  2 Corin. 5:19 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling     the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed             unto us the word of reconciliation" .:
2.    To bridge the gap between God and man. isaiah 59:1-2
    Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy,          that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and         your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear:
The wages of sin is death. Someone must pay for the sin of mankind.   Without shedding of blood there is no remission for sin. 1. Heb 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission" . Jesus came primarily to offer Himself for the sin of man.  In Isaiah 53:5-6,8 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.   Jesus died for the salvation of mankind. God's visit through Jesus is the restoration of every one who would believe in Him back to Himself.

Our Response to enjoy the benefits of His visit
1.    Drop your religious ideology and embrace the truth.
    John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh           unto the Father, but by me.
2.    Repent from sin. Mark 1: 15  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is          at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
3.    Declare Him your Lord and Saviour. John 1:12,    For with the heart man believeth unto          righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Roman 10:10
Only Jesus is the way back to God and through Him we can meet God. Jesus Christ is God's visit to man.  Don't live your life without Him or else you will remain in your sins then end up in lake of fire.
God bless you as you yield to this message.

just read,  it is discovered that God is mindful of mankind.  The reason why God is mindful of man is that man is His offspring.  We are not created like any other thing in the world.  Every other things were created with a spoken word according Gen.  1:3-25,  but man was created by His breath from His nostril to make him image and likeness of God. In Gen. 1:26 -27  "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them". from that verses we see God's conversation with Himself (The Father, Son,  and the Holy Spirit) in creating a man. And Gen. 2:7  "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" .
