JESUS IS TRULY GOD AND TRULY MAN

A SON OF MAN IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME

When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law (GAL. 4: 4-5

So the spiritual conditions were right for God to activate His sonship.

"Centuries of prophecy, the anticipation of the Messiah, and the limitations of living under the old covenant law reached their culmination".(Emmanuel Baptist church).

Paul writes in Ephesians 1:3-14 that before the foundation of the world, God chose us to be blameless and holy before him. In love, he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will.

If you find yourselves struggling to understand why God would choose to present himself to his creation in such a manner that seems impossible to man, you are not alone.

Preachers are afraid to preach that Jesus is God because there seems to be a never-ending explanation and possible excuses;

Many ordinary Christians confess that they don't understand the whole reasoning behind why God had to come in the flesh, but they go on to say that will not stop them from being a believer in God

You don't have to be a hate-filled person to struggle with the fact that the writer declared Jesus as truly God and truly man.
