GOD'S LOVE UNVEILED IN CHRIST part 1

God's Love unveiled in Christ
(John 3:16)

You see the salvation of the believers is the work of God and not of men

Because from the beginning, God's intention on his reason for creating man stands sure

Genesis 1:26-27 KJV
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. [27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Notice the word, And God said, LET...

This make us understand that, God actually want to creat a man that will be in form of himself and not that of the
devil

In Genesis2, God formed man

And Genesis3, man couldn't meet the intention of God but rather become sinned

What you should understand is that, Man becoming sin does not stop God intention

In Gensis 3, We can see that God covered them with the coat of skin which typify the redemption God will later bring to man

God is not warring with man after man's sin but rather he want man to be saved

1 Timothy 2:3-4 KJV
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; [4] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Who will have all men to be saved,...

So it is his deeds to save man

And this salvation is the essence of the scripture

2 Timothy 3:15 KJV
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Paul said, Timothy had known the scripture from a child

Which made him wise unto salvation through faith in Christ

The love of God is not found in things, it is found in a person

The love of God is not in how many cars, house ,children we have, it is in a person

John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God so love the world and he gave..

In the love of God, we don't give but rather we receive

Because, since the very moment man sinned, His intention remained the same

God is never looking forward to man to offer for his sin but rather he want man to receive the salvation he provided

Genesis 3:15 KJV
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

God said, I WILL

To show that, the work of redemption is not of man but of Himself

When man sinned,his sin made him spiritually dead unto God which is the reason why he couldn't meet the intention of God

But now, we don't look at Adam anymore, we have someone better than Adam

Romans 5:14-15 KJV
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. [15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

So we can see that, someone opened the world to sin

But verse 15, there is a change of story

Jesus nullify the sinful nature of man

John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Note something, God gave his Son to die

How did he do so?

He did it by his incarnation

John 1:14 KJV
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.

The word became flesh and dwelled among us

John1:1-5, already made us clear that, the word is God himself

So God's incarnation is Jesus Christ

And the reason for this incarnation is to bring men unto salvation
