Jesus knew he was sent to bear the sins of the world. He knew the day and the hour his death would come. Although he was a man in the flesh, he was also filled with the spirit of God. So are we humans. But the difference between us humans and Jesus is we know sin and carry it out without a thought; Jesus knew about sin but had no sinful nature within him. He carried out the love of God only. He could feel sin but was too strong spiritually to entertain it.
As human beings we too know sin to be the things that are wrong, which are those acts that goes against God’s plan and purpose for our lives. Sin also harms others in ways that makes the human body pompously arrogant.
So why would God create humanity and allow it to become sinfully evil? God knew after Lucifer, his angel of light, was kicked out of heaven, there would be mayhem on earth. As he continued creating humanity, some received him and most didn’t. Those who didn’t, birthed their human young into sin, choosing worldly values of life over Christ. Those who did, also birthed their young into sin, but had strong spiritual warfare; battling the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, while fighting the good fight of faith. Therefore, God knew the world needed a savior that looked like them to trust and lead them to a washing and renewing of the mind, to produce a changed heart; ultimately removing their sinful nature.
Of course God knew humanity would rebel because of the works of the flesh is, reveling, seditions, backbiting, emulation, variance, adultery, witchcraft, hatred, wrath, uncleanness, lasciviousness, strife, and heresies. However, God chose a woman who was clean in her body, never touched sexually, and created life in her womb. God knew she would experience embarrassment and shame, but she was willing to face it for his name sake. She carried God’s promise in her womb, and she knew that promise would be born to die. But before he’d die, he’d unleash the fruits of the spirit upon the earth, which are; love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
God knew the woman would treat the child as a human being, with human love, and with human expectations. He knew she would have human understanding that would not recognize her child, his angel from heaven, youthful wisdom. The pain she felt birthing him and the audacity of him walking away from her so young to pursue his life’s purpose. Quickly, she reminds herself that her child is from heaven, when she see’s humanities cruel hands upon him. God knew he had to bring her back to the reality that her child was very man, and very spirit. He knew it would hurt her, but also knew it would not break her.
God knows what we all have been through and what we are currently going through; yet he allows us to go through it. Not to punish us, or get off watching us suffer. But, to teach us how to trust him, believe he is more powerful than the struggles we face. To teach us what the world has in store for us, means no good for us; and to give us a better way of combatting the false reality that there is good living in it. God, therefore, spoke to our flesh to bring it into subjection to His authority (spirit). As we acknowledge his voice and yield to his words, our spirit connects to his, and our fleshy sight began to see deeper than normal. He knew we would be awakened from the dead and become alive to recognize the hell we live in. He knew we would suffer more once we learned of Him. But his purpose is that we know that the more we endure, the more spiritual strength we have to beat Lucifer at his game of life, and live a peaceful and fruitful life in the midst of the storms of life. We win because we know more of God, which helps us withstand and become immune to the pain and suffering of this ugly world. Lucifer lose when we acknowledge and apply more of the word of God to our lives, trust and believe that we are not defeated, but are a peculiar people, a royal priesthood, overcomers, and more than conquerors!
