Jesus Came to Relate
Jesus Came to Relate
At the proper time, when time at reached it perfect moment, Christ was born. His first advent was not as an angel from heaven, dictating and directing. No, he came as a baby born to humble parents.
17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
Born of a woman. Deity become flesh! Born under the law. So that his perfect righteousness might fulfill the demands of justice!

First the Son was sent, now the Spirit has been sent to seal your adoption into His family!
The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Sermons, Vol. XXX The Great Birthday and Our Coming of Age (No. 1,815)
You ought to feel a sweet joy in the perpetual relationship which is now established between you and God, for Jesus is still your brother. You have been adopted, and God has never cancelled adoption yet. There is such a thing as regeneration, but there is not such a thing as the life then received dying out. If you are born unto God you are born unto God. The stars may turn to coals, and the sun and moon may become clots of blood, but he that is born of God has a life within him which can never end: he is God’s child, and God’s child he shall be.
You have received the Spirit of God because of the work of the Son of God!!!
