How did JESUS become man


Hi there my dear reader! I am back. How are you? I hope all is well with you. As an effort resulting from my deep appreciation for JESUS, I'd like to share this article with you about His birth in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. Please read on.

In the Book of Isaiah 9:6, it was predicted that GOD will be born of a virgin to save the world from sin in the name of Immanuel or JESUS. Matthew 1:23-25 say this, "Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son,and they will call him Immanuel, which means `God is with us.'"When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named JESUS." After 42 generations from Abraham to David and to Joseph (the husband of Mary), JESUS, the Messiah, our LORD was born in the person of Immanuel. His earthly mother named Mary was informed by angel Gabriel that she will give birth to a son named JESUS who will save His people from sin. Mary was astonished because she was a virgin but the angel told her that the child that she will bear will be the son of GOD. 

It happened also that Mary was engaged to her lover named Joseph. So Joseph wanted to break up with Mary secretly because she is already pregnant. But he is not the father of the child because all he knew was Mary was still a virgin. But an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream instructing Joseph to marry Mary because Mary's child is the Son of the Holy Spirit. When Joseph got up from sleeping, he did as the LORD's angel had commanded him. He married her but he did not had intercourse with her until she gave birth to a Son. By the way, JESUS was born in Bethlehem of Judea in Israel. After JESUS' birth in Bethlehem, there were three kings who were from the east who visited him for they considered JESUS as King of the Jews. So they give him gifts like gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

By the way, the three wise men asked King Herod where JESUS is born but he did not know so the three wise men just followed the star that led them. And on their way back to their place, they were warned in the dream not to go back to Herod because Herod was planning to kill JESUS. 

In this story, we can conclude that JESUS came to earth to save us but since we do not know Him, bad people like King Herod would like to kill Him. That's bad and we need to accept the fact that we need a Savior JESUS CHRIST to save us. I tell you having faith in JESUS is the most rewarding feeling ever because JESUS will be with you and you will be full of joy, love, and peace. GOD bless you my dear reader. I hope you will experience GOD'S peace and be aware of His great presence accompanied by His great love for you. I love you with the love of the LORD.

What GOD likes and dislikes

While I was listening to the song "You are Holy (Prince of Peace)" by Michael W. Smith last month, I came across with the lyrics that says "You're the great I am". Upon hearing it, I forgot that the LORD is the Great "I AM" (Exodus 3:14) and I started doubting. But the LORD reminded me that it's Him and that I should not doubt Him because He dislikes a doubtful servant. So, to help you increase your knowledge of Him and know how to love Him, let me tell you the things that He likes and dislikes. Listed below are the things He likes and dislikes. 8 Things GOD likes 1. He likes us. It is said in John 3:16 that GOD loves the world. It means He loves or like us because we are His creations. He gave us His own breath for us to live. 2. He likes a cheerful giver. It is written in second 2 Corinthians 9:7 that GOD loves a cheerful giver. Therefore we should freely give and share whatever we have to our brothers and sisters that are ...

How to be happy the godly way?

Many of us try to seek happiness in our jobs, friends, family, lovers, hobbies, sex, money and material possessions. But all these don't guarantee a real and lasting happiness. Now, how do we define happiness? For me, happiness is loving JESUS and knowing that HE loves me so much that HE died on the cross just for me to be saved. It is also having the knowledge that HE walks with me every day and comforts me. It is having peace of mind and joy as I am being contented and satisfied with my present situation as well. Moreover, it is having a loving and faithful relationship with CHRIST. And, most of all it is being obedient to CHRIST. When you live an obedient life, JESUS will reveal Himself to you and accompany you. His constant presence will give you insurmountable joy. Here are four secrets to happiness that I learned through personal experience and practice: 1. Believe and Accept JESUS CHRIST as your Personal Lord and Savior. Invite JESUS to live in your heart.

What is our purpose for living?

For me, seeking our purpose in life is the greatest human longing.  Without purpose, you have no direction and you feel like there is no reason for you to continue living. I have felt that before and have searched here and there for my purpose. Fortunately, after many years of finding my purpose, I found it in the Bible. The Bible is a rich resource where we can find our real purpose and meaning in life. So, the best way to find out our purpose for living is to search the Bible and understand GOD’s purpose for creating us.  We fulfill our purpose by aligning it to JESUS’ purpose and doing what He requires us to do. The LORD JESUS created us to bring Him glory as reflected in Isaiah 43:7 which says, “ They are my own people, and I created them to bring me glory.”  Glory means heavenly happiness this also means that we should please JESUS. The first step to glorifying or pleasing JESUS is to have faith in Him. Having faith means believing in JESUS and being u...
