This Son Of God Came Into This World As The Son Of Man To Be The One And Only Savior Of This World! Believe It, And You Too Will Spend Eternity In Heaven With Your Savior!
1 John 3:12 (NIV)
Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.
In this cursed world you can worship either the Triune God of the Bible or Satan, or you can imagine a god or gods and craft idols to represent what you think these may look like! Many people now worship themselves as their imagination is not well developed enough to allow them to worship the entities that reside in this cursed world. Many people today worship Mother Nature, as the god of evolution! Totally uninformed people worship themselves, and such people have no respect for other human beings, and thus, they are ready, willing and able to murder any of them.
When mankind came to know both good and evil, death and suffering came into the then perfect world God/Jesus had created for mankind. The new evil side of mankind brought the ideas of religion into this cursed world, as mankind needed to attempt to understand the evil side of this new existence. The immortal side of mankind is only capable of knowing there is a higher power, but the mortal side of mankind the sinful nature, tries to separate itself from this godlike immortal soul, because it does not want to relinquish control!
This battle between good and evil causes most people to not want to accept a straightforward belief of God being in total control of this universe. Pride is the greatest problem that mankind must overcome, to allow God to be in total control of everything. Pride causes mankind to think they are in control, and thus, they should be allowed to make all the rules for how to live in this world! John wrote about this situation where true believers come off us being fake or believing a lie! How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. (1 John 3:1). Since we as believers identify with Jesus Christ the world at large cannot believe!
Religions are created to accommodate the prideful ideas of how to understand the world from a human perspective. Worldly religions turn God into a being that supports the view of this world held by the person or group of people who can come to an agreement on a definition of their proposed god. So, instead of trying to learn to obey the real God and follow His rules, the organizers develop their set of rules to follow, and assume their god will bless their belief system.
Since worldly religions must counter the belief that the real God has instilled in every human being that only God is in control, they must convince their followers of the power of their god through some form of worldly power. Such religions profess that since only their religion is correct, they assume that their god demands that all of mankind must belong to this religion, thus they also assume that anyone who does not want to join them is to be illuminated from this world. Such beliefs cause extremists to form terrorist groups. Such religions are not truly capable of showing love to anyone who does not believe exactly what they believe.
This type of belief was in control of the entire world when God decided it was time to bring the Messiah or Savior into the world to bring in true love, which expresses love toward everyone! This was a new concept coming into this world of division and hatred. This Messiah would profess this all-encompassing love, which even includes those who disagree with the tenets of this new concept of total love for all of mankind. Jesus taught us that we must love everyone, not just those who love us, this was a new idea. Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Matthew 5:43-45).
When God decided the time for a Savior to enter this cursed world had come God sent His only Son into this world to offer salvation to everyone who could believe that this man was in fact the Savior of this lost world. Paul wrote about this for the church in Galatia and for all of mankind. But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. (Galatians 4:4-5). Jesus Christ is the only possible Way for any member on mankind to be saved and end up in heaven when you die in this mortal world!
Now let us again hear a snippet of the biblical accounts of this amazing virgin birth of Jesus Christ into this cursed world! In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; his kingdom will never end." (Luke 1:26-33).
When it came time for this Son of God to be born into this world, He did not appear to be special in any way, as He was born in a lowly stable, and when the angels announced His birth, the first people to hear the announcement were people of the lowest form of society at that time. And there were shepherds living out in the fields near by, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:8-11).
This entry into this cursed world was done to show that this Savior was available to all members of mankind from the lowest members of society to the highest, no one is given any special attention, and no one is excluded from this blessing! This Son of God came into this world as the Son of Man to be the one and only Savior of this world! Believe it, and you too will spend eternity in heaven with your Savior!
Wishing you and those you love,
Merry Christmas!
