THE SEVEN COSMIC FUNCTIONS OF THE LORD JESUS:
6. REDEMPTION & SALVATION
THE INCARNATION OF THE LORD JESUS TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM SIN
The greatest and marvellous event that happened in this finite world
was the first advent of the LORD JESUS CHRIST in the flesh (Jn. 1:14; 1Tim.3:16; Heb. 10:5; Phil. 2:5-8).
How He miraculously incarnated in the form of human being had been
explicitly revealed in many verses of the Holy Scriptures by Him (Is. 7:14; 9:6; Mic. 5:2; Matt. 1:20-23; Lk. 1:31-33; Jn.
1:14; Ph. 2:6-8; 1Tim. 3:16).
Many of the sectarian churches in these latter days did not give
considerate Biblical research study, concerning the significant incarnation of
the LORD JESUS to the world.
All of us in this finite world were born hell bound sinners; however
the LORD JESUS in His compassionate loving kindness (Ps.
136:4, 23) had subjected Himself to the will of God the Father (John. 6:38), to perform the great sacrificial
offering of His sinless physical body for the redemption and Salvation of His
creation, specially the human kind.
The LORD JESUS had perfectly, victoriously, and marvellously
accomplished His redemptive work for our redemption and Salvation (1 Tim.2:4; Heb.9:14;10:10).
It was by His incarnation that He offered His physical body to
restore us to His absolute ownership (Ps. 24:1; Ro.
11:36; 1Cor. 10:26; Col. 1:16) by way of His shed blood (Acts. 20:28).
The LORD JESUS Himself gave us magnificent clear revelation, how He
did incarnate in His first advent to this world.
The seed of the Perfect Manhood of the LORD JESUS was from heaven to
earth (Heb. 10:5), prepared by God the
Father, through the creative work/function of God the Son the LORD JESUS, and
this creative work of the LORD JESUS was through God the Holy Spirit (Heb. 9:14; Zec. 4:6).
To deposit and foster His sinless physical body in the womb of the
virgin Mary (Isa. 7:14; 9:6; Mt. 1:20-23; Lk. 2:7) and it was His MARVELOUS miracle.
Mary was a Biophysical virgin when she carried/bore the seed of the
single human nature of the LORD JESUS CHRIST [the Messiah] in His first advent
to the world (Isa. 7:14; Mt. 1:23).
She remained a virgin even during and up to the time of her giving
birth to that entirely Perfect Manhood of JESUS.
It was just after her giving birth to the infant Perfect Manhood of
CHRIST JESUS that the virginity of Mary had ended; because she had borne sons
when she became the wife of Joseph (Mark. 6:3).
The Jews in those days had speculated that JESUS were among the
natural human sons of Mary and Joseph (Jn. 6:42).
It is a significant revelation of the LORD JESUS, that the
human nature of His physical body was not formed by the sperm cell of any human
father, and egg cell of any human mother; nor was it formed by the process of
human sperm cell, fertilizing any human egg cell (Matt.
1:20) .
Therefore, the Virgin Birth of the Perfect Manhood of the
LORD JESUS CHRIST was a SPLENDID MIRACLE (Matt.
1:20-23), just as the created first Man Adam was a MAGNIFICENT MIRACLE
done by the LORD JESUS (Gen. 2:7).
Thus, the eternal veracity of the revelation of the
Incarnated God the Son, that Mary was not the mother of His Perfect Manhood,
must be earnestly considered unquestionable truth (John.
2:4; 8:23; 1Cor. 15:47-50).
In the infinite reality of the LORD JESUS’ never changing person, He is the same
yesterday, today and forever (Heb.
13:8); with regards to His words that will never pass
away (Mt. 24:35), He will forever address Mary as woman, never His mother (John. 2:4; 19:26); the
same address to other woman (John.
4:21).
The LORD JESUS is God the Son, an infinite Personal Being
while Mary was a finite created kind person; in the logic of truth, the finite
CANNOT REPRODUCE THE INFINITE.
Therefore Mary cannot be the “mother of God”; the human nature of Mary was from the earthly and
sinful human nature of Adam and Eve, which CANNOT BIOPHYSICALLY REPRODUCE the
sinless perfect physical body of JESUS which is not derived from this world (Jn. 8:23-24; 3:13; 6:62; 1 Cor. 15:45-48), but formed by the Holy Spirit (Matt. 1:18-20).
The entire HUMAN NATURE or MANHOOD of the LORD JESUS as God
the Son Incarnate was not derived from Mary and it CANNOT BE (Heb. 10:5).
NEVER that Mary Biophysically Reproduced the manhood of the
LORD JESUS CHRIST. Thus, it is an indisputable truth that Mary is not the
mother of JESUS IN THE FLESH (Mic. 5:2).
Consequently, all of those who contend that Mary is the
“mother of God” or “Mary was the real mother of JESUS in the flesh” are liars
who justly deserve eternal torment in the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8).
Even the designation “woman” [“gunai” in Greek] is not a term of respect for Mary (Johnn. 2:4) because JESUS
also gave the same designation for Mary Magdalene (John. 20:14-18) and for
the Canaanite woman (Matt. 15:21-28) to recognize each one of them simply as a female human person.
In the Bible, both the angelic and human kind gave identity
to Mary as “the mother of JESUS” (Matt. 2:19-21; 1:18;
Lk. 1:43; 2:7, 34).
The LORD JESUS had revealed to all of us the indisputable
reality of His magnificent incarnation as willed by God the Father, and
accomplished by the LORD JESUS, and as confirmed by the ministry/service of God
the Holy Spirit, that the following enumerated certainty of the facts regarding
the incarnation of the LORD JESUS can never be questionable truth:
[a] The seed of the human body of JESUS was begotten (formed
and placed in the womb of Mary) and conceived [fostered and taken cared of] by
God the Holy Spirit (Matt. 1:20-23);
[b] the infant-manhood of God the Son Incarnate was born of
a Virgin, and Mary was that Virgin who testified to the angel Gabriel that she
has not known a man (not having sexual relation with any man at that sequence
of time) (Luke. 1:34).
[c] The LORD JESUS does not have biophysical kinship with
anyone; but He acknowledges spiritual kinship with His devoted disciples (Matt. 12:48-50).
The manhood of God the Son Incarnate did not come from the
earth, because He brought it with Him when He came down from heaven (John. 8:32).
Without human mother and without human father, so the
designation “the Son of Man” is just His Messianic identity (1 Cor. 15:47).
The Perfect Manhood of JESUS IS the second man and the last
Adam, who has that Christological TITLE, ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY and FUNCTION of
JESUS, the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD THE SON.
He came in this world as the second man and last Adam who
took the great sacrificial responsibility by self humbling as obedient
suffering servant (Phil.2:6-8).
He benevolently offered His sinless physical body through
God the Holy Spirit to God the Father (Heb. 9:14).
This momentous sacrificial offering was accomplished only by the blood-shedding
and world redeeming – ransoming and saving by JESUS, the Incarnated God the Son (Phil.2:1-8;1Tim.2:5-6;Is.53:1-12) whose
physical body after death on the cross, and three days in the tomb marvelously resurrected, with immortality and gloriously momentous exaltation of His
perfect human body who is the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD THE SON INCARNATE AND PERFECT
MAN by God the Father (Phil.2:9) and had given
to Him a name which is above every name ; “That at the name of JESUS every knee
should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the
earth” (Phil.2:10).
In the Splendid Incarnation of God the Son, the Godhood of
Christ JESUS is once and for all, forever united to His Perfect Manhood; in the
reality of the infinite Godhood of JESUS, His infinite power is without
limitation, and His miraculous omnipotent power had been demonstrated when He
incarnated. In His magnificent incarnation, His Godhood did not become human
being, “But took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness
of men” (Phil.2:7).
We must have clear Biblical comprehension that His Manhood
did not become God, even for the reason that all the angels of God were
commanded to worship Him during the time when He incarnated (Heb. 1:6).
We must clearly understand that His
Manhood is exclusively His owned human body wherein His infinite Godhood dwell
and forever fixed and inseparable (Col. 2:9) through eternity; that all must worship and accept Him in His fullness and
grace for grace, as God the Son Incarnate having Perfect Manhood (Jn. 1:16).
All those who believe and teach that it is IMPOSIBLE for God
to incarnate Himself, are those who deny the OMNIPOTENCE of the LORD JESUS (Rev.1:8; John 8:58) and had disregarded His
benevolent SELF-SACRIFICING and SINCERELY SELF ABASING Biblical Self revelation
of Himself, the God the Son who came to this world in the likeness of man (John 1:1,14; Phil.2:1-8) at “Bethlehem Ephrata though be little among the thousands of Judah, yet
out of thee shall come forth unto Me that is to be ruler of Israel whose goings
forth have been from of old, from everlasting” (Mic. 5:2; 1 Jn. 5:20; Heb. 10:1-7; Jn. 16:28; 3:16-17). He has actually and truly come in the flesh (John1:1,14;Phil.2:1-11; John 6:32-58; Is.9:6; Matt.1:20-23) as the Personal Singular and Exclusively Self– Revealing God
the Son Incarnate among the Trinity (Matt. 22:41-45;
Ps. 110:1-5; Rom. 8:3, 32; 1:1-4)
The Apostle John the beloved had
warned us “Not to
believe every spirit, but to try the spirits whether they are of God, because
many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John. 4:1-6).
John the Apostle explicitly
explained that Every spirit that confesseth that JESUS CHRIST is come in the
flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that JESUS CHRIST is come
in the flesh is not of God: and this is the spirit of antichrist, whereof you
have heard that it should come; and now already is in the world” .
Many sectarian groups organized by worldly people
have antichrist spirits and they are here already.
In these latter days there are existing sectarians who have rejected
Christ’s first advent as the SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. His eternal words and
testimonies about Himself will never pass away neither can be eradicated by
anyone that the LORD JESUS is God the Son Incarnate, the SAVIOR sent by God the
Father (John. 3:17; John. 4:42; 1 Jn. 4:14), the
LAMB OF GOD who takes away the sin of the world (John.
1:29-36).
Now also in these latter days a sectarian organized group,
pretending as non sectarian, erroneously believe/teach/contend that at the
coming of the LORD JESUS into the world, He divested Himself of His Godhood,
therefore according to their erroneous teaching (Hinubad daw ng Panginoong
Hesus ang kanyang pagka- Diyos).
The proponents of all these falsehoods mentioned herein are the
teachers of the devil (pseudodidaskalos in Greek word); they have devastatingly
twisted the true Biblical interpretations of the Holy Scriptures for their own
destruction (2 Pet. 3:15-16).
If such allegations are true, then at the incarnation of God the
Son, His Godhood is not once and for all united forever in His Manhood; such
erroneous allegations are devil’s works to propagate falsehood, and all who
believe in these deceptions are people who have no Biblical knowledge of
discernment (Hos. 4:6).
It is an erroneous perception of the proponent of such falsehood
that God the Son did not come in the flesh; but instead, His Godhood is
DISUNITED and SEPARATED from His Manhood; against these satanic unbiblical
doctrine, the indubitable truth of the original Greek text of Philippians
chapter two verse seven (7)“kenosis” or “self-emptying” of the LORD JESUS
CHRIST explicitly denote His humble self restraint, or self inhibition of His
Godhood, when He voluntarily humbled Himself as obedient suffering SERVANT,
MISSIONARY, or APOSTLE ( Zec. 3:8; 6:12, 13; Phil.
2:1-8 John. 17:18; 20:21; Heb. 3:1).
Moreover, all those who believe/teach/preach the erroneous doctrine that
the LORD JESUS is a changeable God who transformed Himself in three different
manifestations are liars and children of the devil who oppose the truth (Jn. 8:44).
They teach and preach that before the incarnation of
JESUS, He was God the Father, then He incarnated as God the Son; at the day of
Pentecost He became God the Holy Spirit; this satanic doctrine eventually deceived
many people in these latter days.
The LORD JESUS Biblically teaches/reveals/explicitly explained that
before the creation of the world He is with God the Father (Jn. 17:5, 24; 16:28) and during His incarnation (John. 1:14; Lk. 1:35) and after His incarnation (Jn. 16:32; 8:28-29); and also after His return to
heaven (Lk. 23:40-43; 2 Cor. 12:1-4; Rev. 3:21),
He is always with God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit was already given
without measure to the Son- the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who in Himself is eternally
distinct from God the Father and never in the reality of His personal identity
that He is God the Father, and He never transformed Himself to be God the Holy
Spirit; and JESUS offered Himself as a sacrifice to God the Father through the
Eternal Holy Spirit (Heb. 9:14), even in His
function/work of resurrecting His body from death.
Although it is the will of God the Father that Christ’s offered
sinless physical body be raised up IN and THROUGH the power of God the Holy
Spirit (Gal. 1:1; Eph. 1:17-20; 1 Thes. 1:9-10),
however, it is God the Son the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who performed the actual
work/function of resurrecting the dead body of His Manhood (Jn. 10:17-18; 2:19; 5:21; 11:25; Ac. 17:30; Ro. 4:17).
When JESUS the Almighty LORD GOD the Son (Gen.
17:1; Rev. 1:8; 2 Cor. 6:18) came in the flesh (incarnated) Himself (John. 1:14; 1 Tim. 3:16), He inseparably [united]
affixed His Perfect Manhood to His Godhood.
The reality of or His Godhood
remains unchangeable, never reduced to Manhood or became a man because He in
Himself, in His infinite being as God the Son, the LORD JESUS, IS THE SAME YESTERDAY,
TODAY, AND FOREVER (Heb. 13:8).
His Manhood has never been elevated into His Godhood; “For in Him
dwells all the fullness of Godhood bodily (Col. 2:9).”
The LORD JESUS is “God manifested in the flesh” (1
Tim. 3:16), The Almighty God the Son, the justly All Appropriating all
in all, even in His Incarnation and Perfect Manhood.
How the Manhood of the LORD JESUS died? Is it by the severe agony in CRUCIFIXION? Is it because of the intense pain of the wound and bruises that
was inflicted to Him? The LORD JESUS HIMSELF have explicitly answered this
questions, “Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I
might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I
have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of My Father” (John. 10:17).
And He said, “Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit”, and having said
thus, He gave
up the
ghost (Luke. 23:46).
These doctrine of truth are the testimonies of the LORD JESUS HIMSELF (Rev.19:10); and had been written as presentation of the late Rev.Edilberto C.Medina, and now written Blog of THE LORD JESUS Bond Servant, Eugene Fernandez.
