Eastern Lightning| Chapter 5 You Must Know the Truths About the Incarnation of God

(Selected Passage of God’s Word)

Corrupt Mankind Is More in Need of the Salvation of God Become Flesh

　　God became flesh because the object of His work is not the spirit of Satan, or any incorporeal thing, but man, who is of the flesh and has been corrupted by Satan. It is precisely because the flesh of man has been corrupted that God has made fleshly man the object of His work; moreover, because man is the object of corruption, He has made man the only object of His work throughout all the stages of His salvation work. Man is a mortal being, is of flesh and blood, and God is the only One who can save man. In this way, God must become a flesh that possesses the same attributes as man in order to do His work, so that His work might achieve better effects. God must become flesh to do His work precisely because man is of the flesh, and incapable of overcoming sin or divesting himself of the flesh. Though the substance and identity of God incarnate differ greatly from the substance and identity of man, yet His appearance is identical to that of man, He has the appearance of a normal person, and leads the life of a normal person, and those who see Him can discern no difference to a normal person. This normal appearance and normal humanity are sufficient for Him to do His divine work in normal humanity. His flesh allows Him to do His work in normal humanity, and helps Him do His work among man, and His normal humanity, moreover, helps Him carry out the work of salvation among man. Although His normal humanity has caused much tumult among man, such tumult has not impacted the normal effects of His work.

The True Embodiment of the Creator’s Authority

I
Mankind and the universe are woven into the Creator’s design. Mankind and the universe are woven into the Creator’s design. Tied to His workings, they are held within His sway. The laws of science and nature reveal how He works and rules. And the struggle to survive shows His supremacy. Yes, the fates of all things; yes, the fates of all things; yes, the fates of all things show His sovereign control.

II
In life and death and everything, mankind sees the Creator’s work. In life and death and everything, mankind sees the Creator’s work and bears witness to His superior ways that transcend all earthly powers and laws. So no created being can violate God’s rule or change what He has ordained. All things bow to His laws, showing His authority. Both now and forever more.
