Sinclair Ferguson: Why the God-Man?

The Apostle Paul declared to the Corinthian church that he had decided to know nothing among them except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The person and work of Jesus are at the heart of the Christian faith. In this lecture, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson explains what it means to confess our faith in one who is fully God and fully man and what it means that this Jesus was crucified for our sins.

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD . One of the simplest defination of this fact about the CREATOR is John 1:1 . To me , this is the complete precise illuminating presentation and exposition of the GOD in Genesis 1:1 . . . ! the rest of John , lsaiah 44 , 45 , Hebrews 1 , Rev 1 , etc are all testimonies of this fact .

Everything under heaven and Earth comes through his son Jesus Christ that's his son it's his first born it's his first creation Jesus is not God the holy spirit is not a person either that's God's spirit his breath flowing from God to Jesus to us lives in our heart there's no such thing as the trinity it's the ultimate life of Satan I'm not telling

You are a man subject to a man

[@robinresre818]

But Christ has not Superior to God God came first that's his father

[@robinresre818]

That's why he sent his son Jesus because he had to come down lower than angel God couldn't do that

Do you think God could be made lower than the angels have got himself was made lower than the angels Satan would have killed him the whole thing would have been over an instant

What do you mean God will be all in all

[@robinresre818]

[@robinresre818]

I don't believe Jesus this moment I'm still studying it has ever seen God he was made a man he was created a man the Bible says no man has seen God

Oh my goodness, I can't even begin to express how incredibly thrilled I am right now! I am absolutely captivated by this awe-inspiring sermon that is filling my soul with pure joy. And guess what? While I was listening to it, I stumbled upon the magnificent and historically significant New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in the heart of Washington, DC. The roots of this church can be traced all the way back to a humble gathering of Scottish stonemasons who used to meet in a carpenter's shop located on the grounds of the White House during its construction in the year 1793. Isn't that just absolutely amazing?

[@robertbailey6797]

I wish many of my dear christian brothers and sisters would expand their understanding with the Holy Word of God more fully, and then they would see the divine Logic of God ? The main reason why the divine Son of God became a human being as Jesus from mary was to expose Lucifer, and undo everything what Adam did back in eden ! Who brought sin and death and misery to all generations of the human race ! With Bible texts such as Revelation 12:6-9; and Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 and Job chapter 1 and chapter 2 with Luke chapter 4 ; when here when satan, showed Our Lord Jesus, all the kingdom’s of the world and satan told Jesus…. all this is given un to me…. from Genesis 3; in eden ! The Son of God, became a sinless man, called Jesus of Nazareth, not just to die the second death on that shameful cross, as our substitute and is our surety ! But is to expose all of Lucifers character and his government here on this Hijacked Planet! Lucifer, was defeated and knew that he will be destroyed one day soon ! He was defeated when Jesus, died on the cross ! As a sinless human being, who took all of our sins, and died the second death, and came back on the ( sunday) morning which was the 8th day which was 1 day after the Holy Seventh day sabbath - 1+7= 8 this number 8 represents - Resurrection ! This divine power from Jesus Christ, was first used by him for the very first time, on that Sunday morning to destroy death which came from satan ! This is how Our Lord Jesus, exposed Lucifer to ALL of the created Universe ! But saying all this ! Please please my Christian Brothers and Sisters try to read and pray for The Holy Spirit to open your eyes and hearts and minds ! The Resurrection of Jesus Our Lord on the Sunday morning Does not make sunday the Christian sabbath! The word sabbath means REST ! Jesus, was not resting on that Sunday ! Our Lord Jesus kept the true sabbath when He was alive the Seventh Day which he made in Genesis chapter 2:1-2; the sunday , had its origin from Lucifer, himself, ‘ the day of the sun’ , came from Baal worship! Jesus and His Apostles and the first Christians up to the 4th century Never ever kept sunday as the Christian sabbath ! After the 4th century apostasy that came from Roman Catholic church, who the Apostle Paul, spoke about in Thessalonians:- there shall come a falling away, and that man of sin shall be exposed ( The Popes Of Rome) ! This is the origin of sunday church worship! Why is this so difficult for my dear brothers and sisters don’t understand this simple truth ! RPB

God did not become man Jesus became man you have to separate the two where did Jesus come from he came out of God God made him a man

[@waynehampson9569]

So Jesus was a man before he was a man? Or something else?

[@robinresre818]

You see Jesus was made a man from the beginning he came out of God a man that's why all things were created through Jesus to us because he's a man

[@robinresre818]

Yes it does the godhead Jesus is subject to God who came first the father of the son the father came first then the son who is greater the father's greater

[@robinresre818]

Who is Antichrist those who deny the father and the son you can't even recognize him

[@robinresre818]

All things are putting subjection under him under heaven and Earth who's above heaven and earth God is

[@robinresre818]

He made him his image lightness of who Jesus God through Jesus to us Jesus was made a man from the beginning that's when time started God always was if Jesus is not the little son of God then we're all in picture trouble

[@robinresre818]

Boy you really lost me there man it's like you went on to a Fantasyland or something

[@robinresre818]

Exactly God and Christ are separate Christ was made a man from the beginning that's when time start is when he was made

[@waynehampson9569]

So Jesus was a human before he became a human?

[@robinresre818]

And it's also so simple to believe that God had a son named Jesus
