Overview

Over six thousand years ago in the regions of the third heaven, a Triune council of the Holies, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, brought about the creation of heaven and earth and all that was created in the six days as we have record of written in the Word of God. In the likeness of the Triune God was man created, being formed from the dust of the ground. God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. God planted a garden eastward in Eden and there he put the man whom he had formed. I have not the pen or vocabulary to describe the pristine beauty that this garden entailed prior to the first footprint impressed upon this sacred garden. Then God said. it is not good that man should be alone , and He made a help meet for him, so the first parents perfect environment of no sin, no decay; a paradise for eyes to behold. But alas, sin entered and Adam and Eve were put out of the garden and we have the fall of mankind; the fall of no hope. It had become certain that death would reign and only the Triune God had made plans for the redemption of mankind, all knowing that man would sin and fall victim to sin and that redemption plan was already decided beforehand in the regions of the third heaven long before man was created. The redemption plan was provided to come into the world as the Son of God, the hypostatic union, meaning Christ's humanity and divinity in one hypostasis, or individual existence, being born by a miraculous entry into the world. We will never understand how God and man could unite in one person. The deep things and mysteries of God are far beyond our horizon. Although He was in the likeness of men, that refers to the human nature. He was sinless and He appeared as man in looks and dress but was unlike the natural man in that sin was not an integral part in his unfallen human nature. He had to become man in order to die on the cross for you and me. But He did not diminish the Person. The two natures in Christ are not fused together, they remain distinct and different. Let me say He did not give up Deity or the use of His attributes of Deity. Read Isaiah 53:12. He poured out His soul unto death. None of Christ's divine attributes were relinquished. However, He obscured His majestic glory while embodied by the earthly body. Recorded in the four Gospels is what we have of the life of Christ on this earth. There is no complete biography that could ever be written of the life of Christ on the earth because there are so many details not given. The four Gospels give its own emphasis of how they described the works and life of Christ. The false teachings of cults and critics and evolutionary of man becoming gods is not what our Bible says; it is opposite the false teachings. The Bible says God became man, who was Jesus Christ, both man and God.
