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 ...

Best and the godly ways to move on from unrequited love that JESUS taught me

Oftentimes we fell in love with someone who does not love us back either because they are not interested in us or is already committed to someone else. This kind of situation is heartbreaking. And, it is hard for our minds and hearts to accept the truth that we are not loved back. We kept on expecting and hoping that someday the person we love will reciprocate the feeling we have for them. But, the more you hope and expect, the more you become hurt until one day you find the courage to tell yourself, ‘this is enough I have to move on’. So, what are the best and the godly ways to move on from unrequited love? Here they are: 1. Believe and accept JESUS as your LORD and Savior. This is the first step to moving on. By doing this, your focus is shifted from the person you love, to the LORD. If you are not a believer or a Christian yet, you should first believe and accept JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR. You can pray this prayer: “LORD JESUS, I believe that you are the On...

Seven proofs that JESUS is GOD

I woke up this dawn feeling hungry, so I cooked some Ramen noodles and ate. After eating, I went back to bed to continue sleeping but I heard the Voice of the LORD telling me to write an article about the Seven proofs that JESUS is our One True GOD. So I prayed. I told Him that I am willing and His will be done and I asked Him to give me knowledge on what are those seven proofs that He is saying. These are the seven proofs that He gave me. 1. He created the world, us, and everything around us. Colossians 1:16 says this, " For by Him (JESUS) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: " See, it is stated clearly here that all things were created by Him and for Him. JESUS is our Creator. He is our Father and our GOD.  2. He is the Word. It is said in John 1:1 that , " In the beginning was the Wo...
