Why did Jesus Come? Three principal assignments that represent Jesus’ Coming:
- His First Assignment on Earth was an accurate revelation of the misunderstood God. Hebrews 1:1-3 KJV, 1 Corinthians 13:9 KJV.
He came as a physical manifestation of God.
Jesus came as a correction to our understanding of God. Exodus 34:6 KJV, John 15:13 KJV, Psalm 23:1 KJV, Jeremiah 31:3 KJV
A believer is one who has subscribed to the thoughts of God.
The Holy Spirit was given to us in addition to the Bible due to progressive revelation. - His Second Assignment on Earth was to make the life of God accessible to man by reconciling man to God. John 3:16 KJV, Ephesians 4:11-12 KJV, John 10:10 KJV, Matthew 18:20 KJV
Everything that can reveal Jesus and can reveal his abundant life must be taught to the saints. Ephesians 4:11-12 KJVThe greatest need of an unbeliever (unsaved person) is Salvation, The greatest need of a believer (saved person) is Transformation. The greatest need of a transformed believer (person) is Empowerment. The greatest need of an empowered person (believer) is Purpose.The unbeliever who becomes a believer is subjected to the ministry of the word, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the ministry of a teaching priest. Jeremiah 3:15 KJVQuestion: How are you sure you have the life of God? 1 John 1:1 KJV, Romans 10:9-13 KJVSalvation is not about being good or bad, it’s about a translation from one kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his dear son.SAY: I HAVE THE LIFE OF GOD.
What does it mean to have the life of God?
The life of God is an indestructible life. Shield yourself with the life of God and have a revelation of it.
What gives power and what takes away power is your state and the revelation of it. Romans 8:11 KJV, Psalm 24 KJV
The ability to rewrite your prophecy. Psalm 3:5 KJV
- His Third Assignment on Earth. Jesus came He came as a model of God’s expectation for man. John 14:12 KJV, John 20:30-31 KJV, Hebrews 12:2 KJV
