Jesus Christ! Learn more about how the word became flesh as Jesus and manifested

The word of God became Flesh:
1.
It
was prophesied about the birth of Jesus in the beginning (i.e.) from the time
God created heaven and earth, John knew it was true because he had seen, heard
and touched Jesus. The Word of God became flesh as Jesus. (1 John 1:1)
2.
The
life appeared as Jesus. He clothed himself in the form of flesh for each of us
and died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. Thus giving us eternal life.
This eternal life was with the Father, but now manifested to us, through Jesus.
(1John 1:2)
Fellowship with Jesus
3.
John
is sharing this, so that we would also enter into a relationship with Jesus
like himself…...and does have fellowship with the father and his son Jesus
Christ. ( 1 John 1:3)
4.
As
Christ resides in our hearts our Joy is full (1 John 1:4)
5.
John
declares what he experienced in Jesus, as Jesus being the purest form and is
full of light. In him there in no trifle of sin. (1 John 1:5)
6.
But
if we walk in the light, having Jesus as our guide, God is faithful to
transform us into a Christ like image i.e to live in peace with one another and
love others just the way Christ loves us. The blood of Jesus Christ washes away
all our sins. (1 John 1:7)
7.
John
also explains us that, if we claim to have fellowship with Jesus and yet
continue living in sin, we are lying as we are not abiding in his word and
still walking In darkness (1 John 1:6)
8.
There
is none in the world who has not sinned and if anybody claims to be sinless, we
are deceiving ourselves and we are not living in the truth. (1 John 1:8,10)
9.
But
we have a Father who is faithful to forgive our sins and make us righteousness
if we confess it to him. ( 1 John 1:9)
A
Final Word:
The word of God became flesh as
Jesus Christ. If you have not entered into a fellowship with this God who came
in flesh and still living a life of SIN AND DARKNESS, then invite him into your
heart and this is your day of salvation. Jesus came to give you LIFE AND LIFE
IN ABUNDANCE.
If you are struggling with strain
relationships, invite Jesus into your heart and ask him to help you to love
others the way he loved us and help you to abide in his word.
Lastly,
if you feel you have no sin, CHECK OUT; you may be on the danger grounds of
self righteousness as in ( (1 John
1:8,10) ; Confess your sins and God is faithful enough to make you whole….. Let
the love of Christ abide in you. Amen.
