[ PT. 3 ] THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST

 { PT.  3 } - [ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us... JOHN  1:14 ].                                                                                          _________________________________________________________Between the 1st and the 14th verses of this text is a period which cannot be measured in years. The measure of time began with the disobedience of Adam and the entrance of sin. Before time began, was eternity, which has no beginning and no end, and for all eternity past there was Christ, the Word, who was [ with God and was God ] Christ the Word, who is from eternity past, after about four thousand years of time, was [ made flesh, and dwelt among us, [ and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ] full of grace and truth ]. This is the incarnation, where the eternal [ Word of God ] became a man. Christ, [ the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever ].      ________________________________________________________  [ 1  PETER  1:23 - Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but if incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever ]. is the [ incorruptible seed ] which was implanted in the womb of Mary by the Holy Ghost                                                        _________________________________________________________( LUKE  1:35  -  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also the holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God ].                                      _________________________________________________________And she brought forth the Son of Good. The apostle Paul said, [ God sent forth his Son, made a woman, made under the law ] GALATIANS  4:4 - This [ Son of Mary ] was also [ the Son of God ] The apostle Paul, in his [ Revelation of Jesus Christ ] confirms John's revelation and adds just a little to our understanding of the past of Christ in creation. Consider the following passages.                              _________________________________________________________[ For by [ in ] him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by [ through ] him, and for him: COLOSSIANS  1:16 ].
