No Other Name Whereby We Must Be Saved -- Part 1493

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me." (John 14:6)

Why is this true? Because if we do not accept what the Lord God did on the cross -- (who prepared Himself a body so that He could become the perfect sacrifice) so that we might experience His love and mercy, we have missed the greatest love story ever told. God manifest in the flesh. (I Timothy 3:16) God became our Saviour. (Titus 3:4-7)

Not another g/God but the one and same God who created us in the beginning. The same God who used a series of different names when revealing Himself to His people. This is evident throughout the old covenant. In the new testament, God reveals Himself as Jesus. This is why Peter (standing with the eleven) on the day of Pentecost declared this same Jesus who was crucified to be both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36)

These knew Jesus for who He said He was. "I and the Father are One!" (John 10:30) "If you have seen Me, ye have seen the Father ..." (John 14:6-12) Jesus is the visible image of the unseen God. (Hebrews 1:1-3)

Let me explain.

From the beginning, we understand that God is Spirit. (Genesis 1:1) Indeed, the Spirit of God fills the heavens and the earth. God counseled with Himself before deciding to reveal and show His Spirit in a visible form.

JESUS, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and the last. (Revelation 1:8, 11) The revelation of the Spirit of God in visible form. And JESUS being the only begotten Son of God, as we understand from John 3:16-17, was for the "whosoever will"  that desired to receive Him as their personal Saviour.

The Word that was God was made flesh. (John 1:1-18) JESUS was not created. Rather, JESUS came forth from the innermost being of God. JESUS being the same God who is Spirit, now appearing in visible form.

JESUS, coming forth from God’s bosom (innermost being). In other words, JESUS coming forth of God. He was without father or mother and without descent. What does this mean? First and foremost, that JESUS is not "another" God. Rather, Jesus is the same God. Jesus is the same God Spirit stepping forth in visible form. The SAME GOD.

God in visible form displaying and revealing God’s splendour, wisdom and power. This explains why the scriptures state that in JESUS was ALL the fullness of the Spirit of God, now seen in visible form. JESUS, in visible form being the Same God who is Spirit.

We call JESUS the Only Begotten Son Of God because JESUS came forth from the innermost being of God. We now see the Spirit of the previously unseen God in the visible form of JESUS. God manifest in the flesh. JESUS, who had neither the beginning of days nor ending of life is the same one God who made all things.

"In the beginning, God." (Genesis 1:1) "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God ... He was in the world and the world was made by Him but the world knew Him not." (John 1:1-18)

As such, JESUS revealed to man that, “All that the Father has is Mine." The only begotten is Jesus. All things whether seen or unseen were made by JESUS and for JESUS ... for it is written that JESUS is the beginning of the revealing of God in visible form.

In the beginning, God who is Spirit created the Heavens and the earth -- the earth being without form and void -- a time when darkness covered the earth. From the scriptures we read that a voice was heard saying, “Let there be Light."

JESUS the visible God spoke His own Words. Surely, when God speaks, He speaks through His own mouth which is the mouth of JESUS, who is God, albeit visible and invisible, but altogether Almighty GOD nevertheless.

In the beginning, JESUS who is God alone spoke His intent for the world and its inhabitants. His Spirit moved upon His Word and whatever God’s purposed intent was, it was realized and materialized. JESUS as God saying that it - His new creation - is good.

Why? Because God made man in His own image. He made man from the dust of the earth fashioned like as unto His own visible form. Upon completion, God breathed into man the breath of life, causing man to become a living soul.

As a result, Adam was created in the form of God from the dust of the earth. Eve was also formed of God with Eve being formed out of one of Adam’s ribs. The reason for this? Adam and Eve were to become one flesh - bone of man’s bone and flesh of man’s flesh. Similarly, Adam received of God the breath of life.

Upon receiving GOD’S breath, Adam became a living soul. (Note - Adam was capable of producing offspring bearing his own image) But after Adam sinned through disobedience to God’s initial instructions, Adam and Eve were removed from the Garden of Eden.

Whereupon the fulfillment of this initial action by Adam and Eve, God purposed to veil Himself in flesh so that we might be saved. God’s fleshly form was to be veiled and birthed even as we are. Thus, God purposely entered this world to save Adam and Eve, His Beloved, for in them did dwell HIS BREATH!. In other words, Adam was to God even as Eve was to Adam.

This is why JESUS laid down HIS life for HIS betrothed. Let him who hath ears to hear, hear. Stand in the offering plate.
