It begins, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). So, all the way back into eternity, there was the Word, and we have this mysterious statement that “the Word was God” and, paradoxically, “the Word was with God.” Was God, withGod — and immediately you’re into weighty Trinitarian matters, aren’t ...
Go a little further to John 3:16–17. That’s Christmas and Good Friday all in one. This is the purpose for Christmas: “that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” So, Christmas is not for condemnation; Christmas is for salvation. That’s why he came: not to condemn, but to save. Near the end of the book, in chapter 18, Jesu...

To do God’s will, and to make it possible for us to do the same. Are we tempted?
God became a human in Jesus Christ. This is known as the "incarnation." Incarnation is from the Latin meaning "in flesh." Although it is not a biblical word it presents a biblical truth. Jesus is the eternal God who became flesh and blood. Jesus became a man at a point in time in history. He did so without giving up His oneness with God.
Sep 19, 2004 · The biblical picture is clear: to be a Christian—to belong to Jesus Christ—is to be part of his body and “individually members of one another.” This is why we have small groups, and why we work hard to help you find one that frees you to serve and be served in relationships of love.
