The Word became Flesh

mystic7 · Mar 9, 2020

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The day you gave your life to Christ and became a Born Again Christian, Spirit of God and Christ resides within you.
When you stand and apply God’s Word in your life………The Word becomes flesh
When you claim your inheritance as a believer for healing, provision, protection deliverance and Spiritual growth and God honors your request…………..The Word became flesh

I understand what you are saying for when we are saved and receive the Spirit the kingdom of God is within us, and we are born again, and we put on Christ, so we show the ways of God on earth.

But I would not word it the Word became flesh as concerning anybody other than Jesus for Jesus is God showing a visible manifestation to the Jews the only way we can see the invisible God and Jesus is God with us.

The Word of God is God Himself manifesting Himself in flesh, the man Christ Jesus, and that cannot apply to any other human being born in the whole history of mankind, for Jesus is the only begotten Son of God for He was conceived by God Himself where the saints are adopted to be sons and daughters.

The Word was God and we are not God so the Word can only apply to Jesus.

If you want to say we show the word of God by our words and actions that is okay, but do not say we can say we are the Word made flesh with a capital W.

For the word of God is God revealing Himself by words written in a book, where the Word of God is God revealing Himself personally by a visible image of Himself for God is an invisible Spirit and when He was manifested in flesh He was seen of angels which God is even invisible to the angels unless He shows a visible manifestation to them.

We are not God so we cannot be referred to as the Word of God but only Jesus who is God.

Mic 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Jesus is from everlasting which means He has no beginning.

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Jesus is God manifest in the flesh.

1Ti 6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1Ti 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Jesus dwells in the light that no person can approach unto, and no person has seen Jesus and no person will ever see Jesus for He is God an invisible Spirit, but He showed the Jews a visible manifestation of Himself which will be the visible relationship of God to the saints forever.

Amen.. God IS faithful to what CHRIST already has done.

The focus should be on the eternal Word, who He is, and why He took human form. There is much to be gleaned from these two verses.

1. In the beginning -- before time began, meaning in eternity past.

2. Was the Word -- the Lord Jesus Christ is both the eternal Son of God and the eternal Word of God. He is called the Logos (Word) in connection with Creation, since He spoke all creation into existence.

3. And the Word was WITH God -- which tells us that the Godhead consists of at least two Persons -- God the Father (generally called "God" in the NT) and God the Son (called the Word in this context).

4. And the Word WAS God -- there could be no clearer statement about the deity of Christ -- that Jesus is God. Therefore the Jehovah's Witnesses (who reject the deity of Christ) changed that to say "the Word was "a god" (meaning that there is more than one God, and Jesus is less than God).

5. And the Word was made flesh -- this is a reference to the supernatural conception and incarnation of Christ. Jesus could not be the Lamb of God on the Cross unless He was crucified as a sinless Man, while taking upon Himself the sins of the world.

6. And dwelt among us -- Christ lived as a Man on earth for about 33 years, but unbelievers would have seen Him as just a man.

7. ...and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth -- but the disciples of Christ saw His glory. It was not His divine radiance which was left behind in Heaven, but every word and every action of Christ displayed the glory of God, which included His grace and truth. [Note: Only Christ is called "the only begotten" (or uniquely begotten) Son of God, because there has been an eternal unique Father-Son relationship within the Godhead.]

I would ask? In the idea: The word became flesh when Jesus was born . . .in which way did it become flesh? What kind of flesh? Flesh that could profit? Or flesh used for another purpose. . to reveal the unseen work of two in agreement?

Hebrews 1: 1-2 (KJV) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 1 would seem to reflect the theme of Hebrew 1 verse.In these last days he has spoken through His son.. . . or the word became flesh. a eye witness demonstration to the world shown by his life working with the father as one a living parable by which he brings the good news..

I would offer God who has no beginning cannot become man as us who is with beginning and end of days.

In context to the scripture it is true Jesus became flesh but what I am saying is when apply the written Word in our lives, the Word is manifested in our flesh example Healing. Remember Jesus was in the human form while on earth, He did everything in his human form by the power of the Holy Ghost an example to believers we can do same as with the Apostles and believers today.
As the scriptures states we the "light of the world" only through Him and by Him

I totally agree in context with the scriptures but remember Jesus was in the human form, the Holy Spirit lives in believers today in the human body.
I was stating by applying the written Word (which was with and is God) in our lives, the power of the Word will be manifested in our lives/flesh as with healing, provision etc when this happens the Word becomes alive for we serve a living God

Yes in the appearance of men in order to perform the demonstration of the lamb which was slain from the foundation. But God is not a man as us.

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both Job 9;32-33

The word became flesh to provide a demonstration between the Son of Man seen the temporal, and the eternal father not seen.

Corrupted flesh that cannot profit as far as salvation was used to demonstrate what the letter of the law death could not.

Nehemiah6 · Mar 10, 2020

garee said:

It simply means that God took human form, "flesh" being a reference to flesh and blood --- muscles, sinews, etc.

garee said:

As a matter of fact that is exactly what the verse is saying. God the Word who had no beginning chose to become Jesus of Nazareth miraculously. But He has no end of days since He rose again the third day. Christ did no have to die since He was sinless. But he chose to die for the sins of the whole world. That was the whole purpose of the incarnation. So if you do not believe that God actually became a Man, you have a serious problem. It is the blood of God which was shed on the cross (Acts 20:28).

You do not connect "corrupted" flesh with Christ. He was always SINLESS Man. And His body did not experience corruption in the tomb.

I would agree he came unseen as God appeared as man and left as God.

Nehemiah6 said:

The father kept it for reaching death, the conclusion of dying. By the work of pouring out his Spirit life on the Son of man as the Son Jesus cried out for strength need to finish the demonstration of the father and Son as one work .

But it must of been signified as sinful (what the eyes see the temporal) to do what the written letter, what the eyes see could not. (the unseen eternal) Bring new spirit life.

Condemned sin or rendered sin useless in the flesh. No flesh, no demonstration

Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

It's called hyper spiritualizing. And it's also deifying the human. Its abuse of the scriptures. That passage is about who Jesus is. Our relationship to that is that we believe or reject it. The word does not become flesh in our flesh. The word became flesh in Jesus incarnate as a man on this Earth. The word is always alive by the power of the Holy Spirit who inhabits the word.
