The Reason why God came in the flesh



The biggest event that can happen in this world is God coming in the flesh. Only when God comes in the flesh we can receive a blessing from God and eternal life. From old, the bible shows that everytime God appears in the flesh His people will receive a blessing, even eternal life:

Gen 18:1 "The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day... When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, [a] do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant."

Automatically, Abraham's first instinct when God appeared was to serve Him. He did it out of a pure mind because He ackowledged God was the One who created all things and is omnipotent and Ominscient; because his mind was so pure, what happened afterwards?

Gen 18:10 "Then the LORD [c] said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son."

What Abraham wanted the most was a son to receive all his inheritance God had given Him. However, he was not able to have an inheritor even by his own efforts (Gn 16:1) because God controls everything. Through this we can understand that in the same way, we can only have the blessing of eternal life when God Almighty has appeared in the flesh.

For this reason I always give thanks and praise to Christ Ahnsahnghong who has appeared in the flesh in accordance to the bible to bring us the blessing of eternal life (Heb 9:28) through the passover bread and wine *Jn 6:53*

In my next post, let us discuss more in debt about the blessing the apostles and we will receive since God has come in the flesh. GBY
