Fundamental Truth – He is God

November 21, 2014

“The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” – Hebrews 1:3

They will tell you there is No Trinity.  They will say that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are each individuals.  They will say that He was God’s first creation, but He isn’t God in flesh.  Some say His bones are still in a hidden grave in Israel, some have claimed to find His bones in a grave.  Some do not believe He existed because they have never found His bones.

I believe He was God incarnate, He is truly God in the flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit in Mary and born fully man and yet fully God.  I believe He was on the earth for a purpose of providing salvation for mankind.  Upon completing His purpose on earth, He ascended to the Father once again, where He waits for the end, where He will return for those that have acknowledged Him as Lord.

Prior to Christ, salvation came through a yearly sacrifice of a perfect, spotless lamb.  The father of each family would take the offering to the temple, where it would be sacrificed and the blood would atone for the sins for that year.  God looked down upon mankind and saw that despite His loving-kindness, His provision and His Commandments, man continued in sin and lawlessness.  In His grace and mercy, He chose to provide a single, final provision for the sins of mankind, not because we deserved it, but because He loved us so. 

This sacrifice had to be from a perfect, flawless and fully holy, righteous man.  No such man could fulfill these requirements, which meant God, Himself, must provide the sacrifice.  He provided His Son as that provision.  Through His perfect life, death and resurrection, Jesus Christ became that perfect lamb, the sacrifice for God’s family (all of mankind).  He rose from the grave and ascended to Heaven because He is God.
