To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself

                                                 

Who is Jesus?

"Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us." - John 14:8

"Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." - John 14:9-10

Why would our Heavenly Father come to dwell among man in a human body?

There was no man born without sin that could pay the price of our sins.

"And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him." - Isaiah 59:16

The arm of the Lord is God's power to deliver and save.

Isaiah prophesied of Christ – the arm of the LORD revealed. Isaiah 53.

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." - Matthew 1:23

"The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." - Luke 1:35

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6

"And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself…" - Colossians 1:20

"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." - Acts 20:28

"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them..." - 2Corinthians 5:19

By His death, burial, and resurrection we can repent of our sins, be baptized in His name Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins, and be filled with His Spirit to walk in new life. (Acts 2:38).
