God is Spirit


 
God is Spirit. (John 4:24a) He is the Creator. (Genesis 1) Because man sinned, God, for a time, accepted the innocent blood of animals to cover man's sins. (Genesis 3:21) However, the blood of animals could not take away man's sin. (Hebrews 10:4) Only a man without sin could pay the price. God saw there was no man without sin. (Isaiah 59:16) This is why God made Himself a human body. (Isaiah 53:1 God’s body is called the “arm” of God because of its power to redeem humanity; Hebrews 10:10) Because God came as a sacrifice, he is called the Lamb of God. When John the Baptist saw Jesus he said, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” God provided Himself a Lamb as a sacrifice to take our place. (Genesis 22:8) Because God did this great thing for mankind, He gave His body a name that is above all His other names, the name JESUS. (Philippians 2:9) “JESUS” means, ‘Yahweh is become Salvation’ (‘Yahweh Savior’). At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and confess that Jesus is Lord. (Philippians 2:10, 11) Because it is by His incredible sacrifice of His body for us that God brought mercy and salvation to all mankind, God sits as the Lamb in His throne. (Revelation 5:13, 17:14)
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain that sits on the throne!! HIS NAME IS JESUS!!
