I
Only when God
humbles Himself to an extent,
meaning He becomes flesh
to dwell among men,
that's when they can
become His confidant,
that's when they can
be His intimate friend.
How can man qualify as God's confidant
when God is of the spirit,
exalted and hard to fathom?
Only by becoming
the same created flesh as man
can man understand His will
and be gained by Him.

God speaks and works in the flesh,
sharing in man's joys,
sorrows and tribulations,
living in their world,
protecting and guiding them,
thus cleansing them
to gain His blessing and salvation.
How can man qualify as God's confidant
when God is of the spirit,
exalted and hard to fathom?
Only by becoming
the same created flesh as man
can man understand His will
and be gained by Him.
Through this,
man can truly understand God's will
and become His confidant;
only this is practical.
If God were invisible
and intangible to man,
how could man be His confidant?
Isn't this doctrine idle?
How can man qualify as God's confidant
when God is of the spirit,
exalted and hard to fathom?
Only by becoming
the same created flesh as man
can man understand His will
and be gained by Him.
Only when God becomes flesh
can man be His confidant.
