The Person We Ought To Be

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone." (Hebrews 2:9)

Why did Jesus come into the world?

When we look at the words here of the Hebrew writer, we see that Jesus came to this world to help man-kind be what they were meant to be. God created man , only a little less than himself, to have eternal fellowship with Him, and to have dominion over the earth.
(Genesis 1:28)

Jesus came to restore man, and bring him to the place where he was intended to be. It was through Christ's life, death, and glory, that He would restore man to what he was meant to be.

To bring this down to where you live, is to ask the question: How can you be restored to the person God intends for you to be? It is through accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, and Lord of your life, that restoration comes.

It begins when we repent of our sins, and allow the Lord Jesus Christ to cleanse us of our sins, in the waters of baptism. (Acts 2:38) And from that time forward, we allow the Lord to build our lives according to His Word, and Will.

The person we ought to be, is not found in the work of ourselves, but in the work of Jesus Christ.
He will help us to be, what God intends for us to be, now and forever.  GP
