The Authority and Significance of God's Incarnation
I
Man's stature, knowledge, love, and loyalty, obedience, and all that man sees have come from judgment by the word. Your faith stands because of His word. Through this man sees God's amazing work. There is much beyond man's grasp: great mysteries and wonders all around. And therefore many have submitted. None surpass the judgment of His word, and no darkness prevails over His authority. Man submits because of His incarnation, His authority, and judgment from His word.
II
Those who have never submitted kneel to God when confronted by His word. They bend to the judgment of His word, never scrutinizing or judging with their tongue. God's flesh appears as if He's ordinary, but His words show man His full authority. He is God Himself, His words express this. None can offend Him, He is God in flesh.
III
God incarnate delivers His words, so all with ears may hear and receive His judgment. God does not frighten man into submission by showing Himself in spirit form. Man's true disposition, though hidden deep, is revealed by this real and unique work, so man may recognize it and change. God's judgment is practical and is delivered by the word. This is the authority and significance of God's incarnation. This is the authority and significance of God's incarnation. None surpass the judgment of His word, and no darkness prevails over His authority. Man submits because of His incarnation, His authority, and judgment from His word. His incarnation, His authority, and judgment from His word.
