God’s Purposes Revealed by Inspiration
THE PURPOSE OF THE CREATOR’S INCARNATION IN THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS (Part 1)
The Incarnation: We start this most solemn, enlightening, and humbling truth from which emanates and branches out the grandest themes as well as the details and depths of the nature of gospel’s plan of salvation for fallen mankind.
Its prophesied and fulfilled manifestation is a revelation to man, angels both holy and demons, as well as to the unnumbered unfallen worlds of God’s eternal universe of “the mystery of godliness.” By comparison and contrast, it clearly exposes and delineates the exceeding sinfulness of sin of “the mystery of iniquity.”
If and when earnestly and humbly sought, with “an eye single to the glory of God,”the revelation of this “mystery of godliness,” will unfold into the revelation of another profound mystery, as follows:
“The mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest unto His saints: to whom God would make known what is the RICHES OF THE GLORY OF THIS MYSTERY among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom: that we may present every man PERFECT IN CHRIST JESUS.” Col. 1:25-28.
We continue by simply citing certain “It is written” and “Thus saith the Lord” texts that, on its own, declare these truths, both directly as well by comparing scripture with scripture as in “line upon line, precept upon precept, line upon line.”(Isa. 28: 8-13. Unless stated otherwise, as always, all verses are from the King James or Authorized Version (all emphasis provided):
God said to the serpent, Satan:
“I will put enmity between thee and the woman [starting with Eve], and between thy seed and her SEED; it [the Seed] shall bruise thy HEAD, and thou shalt bruise his HEEL”
Gen. 3:15. (see verses 1-24).
“But when the fulness of the time was come, GOD SENT FORTH HIS SON, MADE OF A WOMAN, made under the law, to redeem them that were under [the condemnation and curse of] the law, that we might receive the adoption of sins.” Gal. 4:4, 5.
“And without controversy GREAT IS THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Tim. 3: 16.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. . . . He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. . . .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.” John 1: 1-3, 10, 14.
“God, who at sundry (various) times and diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers [godly patriarchs] by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His SON, whom He hath appointed Heir of all things, by whom also He made the WORLDS, who being the BRIGHTNESS OF HIS [the Father’s] GLORY, and the EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, and upholding all things by the word of His power. . .But unto the SON, He [the Father] saith, Thy throne, O GOD, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Thy kingdom. Thou hast LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, and HATED INIQUITY (sin; transgression). . . And, Thou, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the foundations of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Thine hands: they shall perish; but THOU REMAINEST; and they shall all wax old as doth a garment; and as a vesture shalt Thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but Thou art THE SAME, and Thy years shall not fail.” Heb. 1: 1-3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. (Jesus is “the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Heb. 13:8. “For I am the Lord, I change not. . .”Mal. 3:6).
“For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, GOD SENDING HIS OWN SON IN THE LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH, AND FOR SIN, CONDEMNED [not condoned] SIN IN THE FLESH: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the (Holy) Spirit.” Rom. 8: 3, 4.
“And she [Mary] shall bring forth a SON, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for HE shall SAVE His people FROM their sins. . . . Behold, a VIRGIN shall be with child, and shall bring forth a SON, and they shall call His name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US.” Matt. 1:21, 23.
