Man, Faith and God

Product Information

Paul, one of the most influential Christian leaders, argued that male and female, slave and free, were all loved by God and were one in Christ, but women should dress like women, even in leadership, and should normally leave public discourse to men. Implication: Things that are true of one nature but not the other are nonetheless true of the Person of Christ. Having seen the biblical basis that Jesus is both God and man, the second truth that we must recognize is that each of Christ’s natures is full and complete. In other words, Jesus is fully God and fully man. Another helpful way to say it is that Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. Jesus Is Fully God The analogy of faith depends upon the credere in Deum in which the person has come through the propositions of faith and is now experiencing the realities of faith themselves. The person no longer sees merely a collection of truths or an organized system of immutable statements in a creed. The Creed ceases to be only a stop-sign, a requirement of belief, and becomes instead a boundlessly fruitful unity, endlessly unfolding to the eyes of faith. The person now sees – in God’s own divine simplicity – the oneness of these truths in the One incarnate Logos. May we look forward to the day when we see him face to face. Until then, may the joyful hope of this day inspire in us a great diligence in serving and worshiping him. Notes

Elsewhere, Jesus had appealed to parental compassion, arguing we need to see God as caring and compassionate, not as aloof and unforgiving, much less obsessed with power and control. For many men, schooled in traditional models of masculine superiority, this has caused a crisis of identity. Finally, we need to be ready to defend the truth of Jesus’s deity, Jesus’s humanity, and their joining inconfusedly in one Person. Therefore, consider committing to memory many of the verses which teach that Jesus is both God and man, and be able to explain the relationship between Christ’s two natures to others.Men and women of God are known by what they flee—ungodly language, ungodly entertainment, discord, sexual immorality, etc. Are you a person of God—a holy fugitive? What are you fleeing? The old story of the Knights who smote each other to the death upon the question of the gold and silver shield, each looking at it only from his own point of view, may well apply to combatants who cried so lustily for "Paul" or "James." But, now the dust of conflict has somewhat blown aside, it would be hard to prove that the Apostles themselves were ever at variance, or needed such doughty champions at all. Strong's 3004: (a) I say, speak; I mean, mention, tell, (b) I call, name, especially in the pass., (c) I tell, command.

Because Jesus is man, he has experienced the same things that we do. Because he is man, he can identify with us more intimately. Because he is man, he can come to our aid as our sympathetic High Priest when we reach the limits of our human weaknesses. Because he is man, we can relate to him — he is not far off and uninvolved. Because he is man, we cannot complain that God does not know what we are going through. He experienced it firsthand.What use is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him? In entering the life of the Trinity by assimilation into Christ, the person becomes capable of seeing the analogy of faith. The analogy shows man the inter-connectedness and unity of truths and allows him to see the harmony of creation and the glory of God’s created cosmos. It shows him the great circle of being that begins with God and rests with Him. But where people give priority to reason and the reasonable love that lies at the heart of the Christian tradition, the effect for both men and women is liberating.

Strong's 3588: The, the definite article. Including the feminine he, and the neuter to in all their inflections; the definite article; the. Restless to find answers to his questions and the foundation of his life, man is called to accept the divine hand, marked by the brutality of the Cross, which is offered to him. Called into this intimacy with God, man’s only adequate response is one of adoration. He begins this existential adoration through an act of faith. Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.” - Max Lucado A proper understanding of these truths clears up much confusion and many difficulties we may have in our mind. How can Jesus be both God and man? Why doesn’t this make him two people? How does his Incarnation relate to the Trinity? How could Jesus have hungered (Matthew 4:2) and died (Mark 15:37) when he was on earth, and yet still be God? Did Jesus give up any of his divine attributes in the Incarnation? Why is it inaccurate to say that Jesus is a “part” of God? Is Jesus still human now, and does he still have his human body? Jesus has two natures — God and man Big Question: What characteristics of a man or woman of God can be discerned from 1 Timothy 6:11-16? The Man of God Flees from Sin

What does it profit, my brothers, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? can faith save him? In ( 2 Corinthians 5:7), Paul explains to the Corinthians that even though this temporary realm we live in may seem like a physical barrier between us and God—through Christ we are able to have fellowship with God via the invisible realm of faith.This view is unbiblical because it demolishes both Christ’s deity and humanity. For if Christ’s two natures mixed together, then he is no longer truly and fully God and truly and fully man, but is some entirely different kind of being that resulted from a mixture of the two natures. What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? But what exactly do we mean when we say that God the Son became man? We certainly do not mean that he turned into a man in the sense that he stopped being God and started being man. Jesus did not give up any of his divinity in the incarnation, as is evident from the verses we saw earlier. Rather, as one early theologian put it, “Remaining what he was, he became what he was not.” Christ “was not now God minus some elements of his deity, but God plus all that he had made his own by taking manhood to himself.” 3 Thus, Jesus did not give up any of his divine attributes at the incarnation. He remained in full possession of all of them. For if he were to ever give up any of his divine attributes, he would cease being God. Strong's 3361: Not, lest. A primary particle of qualified negation; not, lest; also (whereas ou expects an affirmative one) whether. This strenuous act of faith entered into by man with questions and awe, is the hinge upon which this entire drama depends. At its source, it is a movement of love because it is love that inspires every action towards goodness. It moves the will to follow God and makes faith possible and allows it to deepen.
