I just want to share some important thoughts with you.
Why did Jesus come?
Why did he come?
Why did he come?
I want to give you a few scriptures, some important verses in the Bible, to give you an idea.
how God loves us.
In 1 John, the first Epistle of St.
John, chapter 3, he gives us a clear message.
When you read in verse 8, he says, he that committed sin is of the devil, for the devil sinned from the beginning.
For these purpose, the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Did you see that?
For these purpose, the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.
This is the purpose
But the Son of God was manifested to us.
And I want to mind you, if you haven't heard it before, of course, then you're hearing it now.
What is the meaning of Son of God?
Son of God does not mean someone that's born by God.
Like when you say,
John Jr.
is the son of John Cineol because he is his daddy.
His wife gave birth to John.
That's not the sense in which the Word of God talks about the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Son of God means God in human flesh.
That's the meaning of Son of God.
That's what the Bible means when it's a Son of God.
And you know, Jesus lived in a Jewish environment.
They understood exactly what he meant when he said he was the Son of God.
And they said to him, you that are just a man and making yourself equal with God,
and they picked up stones to try to kill him because they said he was blaspheming against God.
For daring to say that he was the Son of God, they understood that Son of God meant God manifested in flesh.
Did you know that's why they crucified Jesus?
For saying who he really was, because they didn't believe him.
But it was true.
So the Bible says in what we just read, the verse we just read, for this purpose, the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.
What are the works of the devil?
In the first part, he shows you sin, doing things that are inconsistent with the will and plan of God.
Wickedness, evil,
the works of the devil, destruction, sickness, pain, affliction, and even death for the Bible says that death is a result of sin.

For these purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
And you remember in the Book of Acts chapter 10 and verse number 38, the Bible tells us something about Jesus, how God had known that Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost.
That's the Holy Spirit.
And with power.
who went about doing good.
Look at that.
He went about doing good and healing all that oppressed of the devil for God was with him.
That's wonderful.
He says, Jesus went about doing good, healing all that oppressed of the devil.
So all those people that Jesus healed, the Bible says they were oppressed of the devil.
It doesn't say that God made them sick.
When someone is sick, it's not God who made it so.
The Bible says it's a devil.
They were oppressed of the devil.
And it was Jesus who went about doing good and healing them.
Healing is a good work.
So Jesus went about healing them.
They were oppressed of the devil.
So that's first thing to understand about Jesus' purpose.
Number two.
You'll find His purpose stated very clearly in St.
John's Gospel chapter 10 and verse number 10.
I'd like to read it to you from the amplified translation because it breaks it down very simply and easy to understand.
Listen to what he says.
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy.
These are the words of Jesus.
Jesus said this.
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have and enjoy life.
Did you ever think the word enjoy will be in the Bible?
It's right there.
This is I came that they may have and enjoy life.
and have it in abundance to the fool till it overflows.
That means until you become a distributor of good things to other people and making other people's lives worth living.
So you live a full life.
God manifested Himself in you and then reaching out through you to help others become full of life.
Look at it.
Jesus says, I came for these purpose.
I came that they may have an enjoy life and have it in abundance to the fool till it overflows.
So first he came to destroy the works of the devil.
So if ever you have the work of the devil in your body manifested in your home, in your life, Jesus's purpose was to get rid of it.
That's why he came.
That's why he came.
Secondly, he came to give you life.
You see, not only to just free you from the devil and then you fall back into what the devil wants you to do and destroys your life again.
No, he gives you a full life.
So you can enjoy the life that God has given you and be healthy all the time.
Number three, and so important.
and it covers everything that Jesus came to do.
This is the biggest of them all.
I'm going to read to you from 1 John chapter 1, I'll read from verse 1 to verse 3, and I'll take you to two other verses.
That which was from the beginning, which we have seen,
which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes.
Now, this is John, one of the disciples of Jesus, who wrote this, that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life.
Then look at this in parenthesis.
He says, for the life was manifested, this place is huge.
You know, you think you're alive, and when you look at the plants and animals, you say they have life, okay?
So you look at living things and you say, there are alive, but what is the substance of life?
Who knows the substance of life?
No one has ever created life.
They may be able to form the human body.
They may be able to create plants.
But what about life?
No one ever created life.
They could only take life from a living being and put into another.
But the very source of life.
Man hasn't known by himself.
He can create it.
But look at what the Bible says.
He says, for the life was manifested.
The life was manifested.
That means life came out of obscurity and was shown to us.
Imagine if you saw something, whatever that thing is,
And that thing spoke to you and said, I am life.
I give life.
What would you think?
And then it says, I'm responsible for your existence.
What would you think if that were true?
If that were true, that you saw some substance, some entity, in that entity spoke to you and said, I am life.
What would you think?
And it says, I'm responsible for the life of all living things.
What would you think?
Well, it did happen in St.
John's gospel chapter 14 and verse number six.
Look,
Jesus said unto him, Jesus was talking replying to someone.
He says, I am the way, the truth and the life.
No man comment on to the Father but by me.
He says, nobody gets to God except by me.
That's an amazing declaration.
Who could ever dare say such a thing?
But he proved it.
He proved it.
A man named Lazarus was dead for four days.
Jesus showed up.
The men had been buried.
When Jesus got there, he called the men by name and says, Lazarus, come out.
And the men came back to life.
He had been dead for four days.
And that was not the first person that he raised from the dead.
That's amazing.
He says, I am the way, the truth and the life.
So John was telling us this amazing thing.
We go back to first John chapter one, and yeah.
He says, for the life was manifested.
Jesus says, I am the life.
So now John tells us the life was manifested and we have seen it.
John says, we have seen life manifested.
A man appeared to us.
This name, Jesus, is the life.
That's what John is saying.
The life was manifest and we have seen it.
And bear witness and show unto you.
Oh, I love this.
Dear Lord, this is amazing.
And show unto you, the word show there means declare unto you.
That eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested unto us.
This is extraordinary, but look at the next part.
That which we have seen and heard the clearly unto you, that he also may have fellowship with us.
He says, so you can come join us.
Why?
He's telling you, this is not religion.
Oh, it's not a conversion from Islam to Christianity.
It's not a religion thing.
It's not a conversion from one religion to another religion.
No.
No.
It's not a conversion of a religion.
It's a declaration of truth.
Look at it.
He says, that which we have seen and heard, declare we on to you, that he also may have fellowship with us.
He says, come and join us.
And truly, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
This is amazing.
Our fellowship
It's with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
I'm going to explain to you what that means in a second.
But first, go to another verse.
I'll take you to 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse number 9.
I want you to look at this.
God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
He says, by Jesus, you have been called into fellowship.
God has called you into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ.
He says, God, by whom?
By whom you were called into fellowship.
God is fatal.
So by Him, you've been called into fellowship with Jesus Christ.
What does this mean?
It means you've been brought into oneness with Jesus Christ.
It means you've been brought into friendship with Jesus Christ.
What kind of friendship is this?
Oh, not just that you know Him, but that He knows you.
And that together now, He shares His life with you.
Oh, let me show this to you.
In Romans 8, from verse 16, look at it.
The spirit itself, bear its witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.
Now, that's the semicolon right there because it's not done.
And what he's going to say now connects with what he just told you.
Look at it.
Next.
And if children then airs, he says, the spirit bears witness that we are the children of God.
If we are the children of God, that means we are heirs, heirs of God.
Then He says, and join heirs with Christ.
This is mind-blowing.
Join heirs, this means whatever Jesus owns, whatever Jesus has, you own it together with Him,
Together with Him, not 50-50, not 30-70, not 10-90, not a percentage, it's not sharing in percentages.
No, joint hardship means 100% together.
Meaning everything he has, you have a right to in the same way that he has a right to it.
This is the grace of God.
This is why it's difficult for religion to explain this.
It's too big.
It's too big, it's too huge.
Look at it.
And if children, if we are the children of God, this is then we are heirs of God.
And joint heirs with Christ.
If so be that we suffer with Him.
If you have been persecuted for Jesus Christ, for His sake, this is don't worry.
Why?
This is that we may be also glorified together.
Hallelujah.
So these are the very, very vital truths about Jesus coming to this world.
Has this been fulfilled in your life?
Has it been fulfilled in your life?
Have the works of the devil been destroyed in your life?
Jesus has fulfilled it.
He's consummated everything.
It's all done.
But have you accepted it?
Have you received it?
He came to give you life.
Have you received the life?
He came to make you a joint heir with him.
Have you accepted it?
We trust that you have been blessed by this message.
If you would like to invite Jesus Christ to be the Lord of your life, kindly say this prayer, O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, son of the living God,
I believe He died for me, and God raised Him from the dead.
I believe He's alive today.
I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day.
Through Him and in His name, I have eternal life.
I'm born again.
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul.
I'm now a child of God.
Hallelujah.
Congratulations.
You are now a child of God.
