The Incarnation — God Manifest in the Flesh

THE DEITY OF CHRIST — LECTURE 6

Introduction: The Fulfillment of God’s Eternal Purpose

From the beginning, the Scriptures have revealed:

  • There is one God
  • The Messiah is divine
  • The Word is eternal and God

Now we come to the central revelation of the Gospel:

The Word was made flesh

This was not an afterthought. This was not a change in God’s plan.

It was:

The fulfillment of what God had purposed from the beginning

  • Genesis 3:15 — the promise
  • Ephesians 3:11 — the eternal purpose

What was promised has now been revealed.

 

I. John 1:14 — The Word Was Made Flesh

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”

The Scripture does not say:

  • The Word stopped being God
  • The Word became something else entirely

It simply declares:

“The Word was made flesh”

Meaning:

  • The eternal Word entered human existence
  • The invisible became visible
  • God was revealed in human form

As also written:

“God was manifest in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16)

 

II. Philippians 2:7 — Made in the Likeness of Men

“…but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:”

This is how Scripture expresses it:

  • “made in the likeness of men”
  • not philosophical explanation
  • not speculative definition

Simply:

He was made as man

 

III. The Reality of His Humanity

The Gospel records show clearly:

  • He was born (Matthew 1:25)
  • He grew (Luke 2:52)
  • He hungered (Matthew 4:2)
  • He suffered (John 19)
  • He died

Therefore:

He was truly man

Not appearance only

Not illusion

Not partial

Real, complete human life

 

IV. The Reality of His Deity During His Earthly Life

At the same time, the same Jesus:

  • Forgave sins (Mark 2:5–7)
  • Was worshipped (Matthew 14:33)
  • Exercised divine authority
  • Is called God (John 1:1)

Therefore:

He is God

 

V. CENI — Establishing the Truth

Command (Direct Statements)

  • John 1:14 — Word made flesh
  • 1 Timothy 3:16 — God manifest in the flesh

Example

  • Jesus lived a full human life
  • Yet exercised divine authority

Necessary Inference

  • If He is truly man
  • And truly God

Then during His life on earth:

He is both man and God

 

VI. The Unity of Revelation — No Contradiction

The Scriptures do not present contradiction:

  • He is not “less God” when He became flesh
  • He is not “only man” during His life

The Bible simply presents both truths:

He was made flesh

He is God

And leaves them as they are.

 

VII. The Purpose of the Incarnation

Why was this necessary?

1. To Fulfill God’s Promise

  • Genesis 3:15

2. To Accomplish Redemption

Hebrews 10:5

“…a body hast thou prepared me”

3. To Be Born Under the Law

Galatians 4:4

“…made of a woman…”

4. To Reconcile Man to God

This is not speculation

This is fulfillment

 

VIII. After the Resurrection — Return to Glory

After His work on earth:

“…knowing that he was come from God, and went to God” (John 13:3)

“…sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Hebrews 1:3)

“…sat down on the right hand of God” (Hebrews 10:12)

The same One:

  • Came from God
  • Lived among men
  • Returned to God

 

IX. Apologetic — Guarding the Truth

❌ “ Jesus stopped being God”

  • No Scripture says this

❌ “ Jesus was only a man”

  • Contradicted by His works and worship

❌ “ Jesus only appeared human”

  • Contradicted by His life, suffering, and death

Scripture holds both:

True humanity

True deity

 

X. Spiritual Application — The God Who Came Near

This truth reveals:

  • God is not distant
  • God entered human life
  • God fulfilled His promise

Therefore:

Our faith rests on what God has done—not on human reasoning

 

Conclusion: The Revealed Work of God

The Scriptures declare plainly:

  • The Word was God
  • The Word was made flesh
  • God was manifest in the flesh
  • He lived, died, and rose again
  • He returned to God

Therefore:

Jesus Christ did not cease to be God, but was made flesh according to the Scriptures, fulfilling God’s eternal purpose of redemption.

Ang Pagkakatawang-tao — Ang Dios na Nahayag sa Laman

ANG PAGKA-DIYOS NI CRISTO — ARALIN 6

Panimula: Ang Katuparan ng Walang Hanggang Layunin ng Dios

Mula pa sa simula, malinaw na ang ipinahayag ng Kasulatan:

  • Iisa lamang ang Dios
  • Ang Mesiyas ay Dios
  • Ang Verbo ay walang hanggan at Dios

At ngayon, dumating tayo sa pinakapuso ng ebanghelyo:

“Ang Verbo ay nagkatawang-tao”

Hindi ito aksidente.

Hindi ito biglaang pangyayari.

Ito ay katuparan ng matagal nang ipinangako ng Dios:

  • Genesis 3:15 — pangako
  • Efeso 3:11 — walang hanggang layunin

 

I. Juan 1:14 — Ang Verbo ay Nagkatawang-tao

“At nagkatawang-tao ang Verbo, at tumahan sa gitna natin…”

Hindi sinasabi ng Biblia na:

  • Tumigil Siya sa pagiging Dios
  • Nagbago ang Kaniyang kalikasan

Ang sinasabi lamang:

“Nagkatawang-tao ang Verbo”

At gaya rin ng nakasulat:

“Ang Dios ay nahayag sa laman…” (1 Timoteo 3:16)

Ibig sabihin:

  • Ang Dios ay nahayag
  • Nakita
  • Naranasan sa anyong tao

 

II. Filipos 2:7 — Ginawang Kawangis ng Tao

“…at naganyong alipin, na nakitulad sa mga tao:”

Ganito ang pananalita ng Biblia:

“nakitulad sa mga tao”

“ginawang kawangis ng tao”

Hindi ito paliwanag ng pilosopiya—

Ito ay simpleng pahayag ng katotohanan

 

III. Ang Totoong Pagkatao ni Cristo

Makikita sa Ebanghelyo:

  • Siya ay ipinanganak (Mateo 1:25)
  • Siya ay lumaki (Lucas 2:52)
  • Siya ay nagutom (Mateo 4:2)
  • Siya ay nagdusa (Juan 19)
  • Siya ay namatay

Kaya malinaw:

Tunay Siyang tao

Hindi anyo lang

Hindi ilusyon

Kundi tunay na buhay ng tao

 

IV. Ang Totoong Pagka-Dios ni Cristo Habang Siya ay Nasa Lupa

Sa parehong panahon, ang parehong Jesus:

  • Nagpatawad ng kasalanan (Marcos 2:5–7)
  • Sinamba (Mateo 14:33)
  • May kapangyarihan ng Dios
  • Tinawag na Dios (Juan 1:1)

Kaya malinaw:

Siya ay Dios

 

V. CENI — Pagtatatag ng Katotohanan

Utos (Direct Statements)

  • Juan 1:14 — nagkatawang-tao ang Verbo
  • 1 Timoteo 3:16 — nahayag ang Dios sa laman

Halimbawa

  • Namuhay Siya bilang tao
  • Gumawa Siya ng gawa ng Dios

Kinakailangang Konklusyon

  • Kung Siya ay tunay na tao
  • At tunay na Dios

Sa Kaniyang buhay sa lupa:

Siya ay tao at Dios

 

VI. Walang Kontradiksyon sa Kasulatan

Hindi pinaghahalo ng Biblia ang ideya—

hindi rin nito pinaghihiwalay.

Ang ipinapakita nito ay:

  • Nagkatawang-tao ang Verbo
  • Ang Verbo ay Dios

At iyon ang katotohanan.

 

VII. Layunin ng Pagkakatawang-tao

1. Upang tuparin ang pangako

  • Genesis 3:15

2. Upang maisakatuparan ang pagtubos

“…isang katawan ang inihanda mo sa akin” (Hebreo 10:5)

3. Upang ipanganak sa ilalim ng kautusan

“…ipinanganak sa isang babae…” (Galacia 4:4)

Lahat ng ito ay katuparan ng plano ng Dios

 

VIII. Pagkatapos ng Pagkabuhay na Mag-uli — Pagbalik sa Kaluwalhatian

Pagkatapos ng Kaniyang gawain:

“…siya’y nagbuhat sa Dios, at naparoroon sa Dios” (Juan 13:3)

“…umupo sa kanan ng Kamahalan sa itaas” (Hebreo 1:3)

“…umupo sa kanan ng Dios” (Hebreo 10:12)

Ang parehong Cristo:

  • Nagmula sa Dios
  • Naging tao
  • Bumalik sa Dios

 

IX. Pagtatanggol sa Katotohanan (Apologetics)

❌ “ Tao lang si Jesus”

  • Salungat sa Kaniyang mga gawa at kapangyarihan

❌ “ Tumigil Siya sa pagiging Dios”

  • Walang talatang nagsasabi nito

❌ “ Mukhang tao lang Siya”

  • Salungat sa Kaniyang buhay at kamatayan

Ang Biblia ay malinaw:

Tunay na tao, tunay na Dios

 

X. Praktikal na Aplikasyon — Ang Dios na Lumapit sa Tao

Makikita natin dito:

  • Ang Dios ay hindi malayo
  • Ang Dios ay pumasok sa mundo
  • Ang Dios ay tumupad sa Kaniyang pangako

Ang ating pananampalataya ay nakabase sa ginawa ng Dios

 

Pangwakas: Ang Gawa ng Dios na Nahayag

Malinaw ang sinasabi ng Kasulatan:

  • Ang Verbo ay Dios
  • Ang Verbo ay nagkatawang-tao
  • Ang Dios ay nahayag sa laman
  • Siya ay namuhay, namatay, at muling nabuhay
  • Siya ay bumalik sa Dios

Kaya ang konklusyon:

Si Jesucristo ay hindi tumigil sa pagiging Dios, kundi nagkatawang-tao ayon sa Kasulatan, bilang katuparan ng walang hanggang layunin ng Dios.

 

Buksan ang iyong puso…

Marami ang tumitingin kay Jesus bilang tao lamang noong Siya ay nasa lupa…

Pero tatanungin kita:

Nasaan Siya ngayon?

“…umupo sa kanan ng Dios.” (Hebreo 10:12)

Ngayon suriin mo ito:

Tao lang ba ang nakaupo sa kanan ng Dios?

O ang nakaupo doon ay:

ang Dios na nahayag sa laman—si Jesucristo?

Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them.

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog " Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them. " Text: Mark 11:24 Introduction This Bible sermon explains the true meaning of Mark 11:24 , where Jesus teaches about believing prayer. Many misunderstand this verse as a promise that God will grant any request, but Scripture shows that prayer must be made in Christ’s name, according to His will, and from a life of obedience . Learn what the Bible really teaches about faithful prayer. Brethren and friends, listen carefully to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 11:24 : “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This verse is powerful. It is encouraging. It strengthens our faith in prayer. But it is also one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible today. Many people read this passage and think that Jesus is giving believers a blank check — that whatever we desire, God ...

The Deity of Christ — Lecture 1

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ The Foundational Thesis — Why the Deity of Christ Is Central to Salvation and Doctrine THE DEITY OF CHRIST  — LECTURE 1   Introduction: The Question That Determines Everything There is no question more critical in all of Scripture than this: Who is Jesus Christ? Not merely what men say, not what traditions teach, but what the Word of God declares. For upon this question rests the foundation of salvation, the authority of doctrine, and the very identity of God as revealed to man. In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asked His disciples, “But whom say ye that I am?” This was not a casual inquiry—it was a dividing line between truth and error, life and condemnation. The answer given by Peter, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), becomes the cornerstone of true faith. Yet Scripture does not leave this confession undefined. The Bible itself explains what...

“For Now I Know” — God’s Response to Faith With Works

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog Sermon: “ For Now I Know ” — God’s Response To Faith With Works Text: Genesis 22:12 God’s Words Are For Us, Not For Him Brethren, when we read, “for now I know that thou fearest God,” we must remember that God did not write the Scriptures for Himself—He wrote them for us (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16). The Lord has always been all-knowing (Psalm 139:1–4; Isaiah 46:10). He knew Abraham’s heart before Abraham even moved. But God chose to phrase it this way—“for now I know”—to communicate something to us. It is not that God gained new knowledge, but that He demonstrated in a way we can understand that true faith is proven by obedience.   Faith Is Only Real When It Acts Notice, brethren, Abraham was already a man of faith before Genesis 22. Hebrews 11:8 says he obeyed when he was called to go out. But here, his faith reached its highest test—offering Isaac, his only son. Faith alone in the mind would not have satisfied God. James ...

IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD? A Doctrinal Examination by Scripture Alone 📖 WHAT DOES “Pleasing to God” MEAN? To ask whether Christmas celebration is pleasing to God is not a cultural question but a doctrinal one . Scripture defines what pleases God—not human sentiment, tradition, emotion, or majority practice. “ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him .”   (Hebrews 11:6) What pleases God is: ·      Faith grounded in His revealed will ·      Obedience to His commands ·      Worship offered according to His authority “ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. ”   (2 John 9) ☛ Thus, anything done “for God” but without His authorization is not pleasing—no matter how sincere . ✎ Key Questio...

HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”) HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”)   A Cry From the Other Side Brethren and friends, there is a cry that still trembles across eternity — not from heaven, but from torment. In Luke 16, our Lord Jesus pulls back the curtain of the unseen world to show us a rich man who lived for himself and a beggar named Lazarus who suffered in life but was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man, now in anguish, lifts up his eyes and pleads for his brothers who are still alive. “Send Lazarus,” he begs, “that he may warn them.” But Abraham’s answer pierces like thunder: “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” Oh brethren, hear that line again — let them hear them.

ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST? Main Text: Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Beloved, my friend… allow me to speak to you not as an enemy, but as one who cares for your soul. I am not here to attack you. I am not here to argue with you. I am here to ask you something—something simple, yet something that may change everything about your life, your faith, and your eternity. My friend… what church are you a member of? Have you ever truly asked yourself that question—not just by name, but by truth? Who built that church you belong to? When did it begin? Was it established in the days of the apostles… or was it started by a man many years later? And more importantly… can you find that church in the New Testament? Pause for a moment. Think carefully. If we open the Bible—not traditions, not history books...
