GOD IN THE FLESH It takes BLOOD, therefore, to pay the penalty for sin. Yet no man’s blood, no angel, no priest, no animal’s blood, was ever worthy to redeem man in his fallen estate. God must do it Himself, for there is no Saviour but Him alone. He must do it in order to show that He alone is the ONLY Redeemer. In Isaiah 45:22, God said, “Look unto Me, and be ye saved, for I AM God, and there is none else.” “Thou shalt know no God but Me; for there is NO SAVIOUR BESIDE ME”. (Hosea 13:4). God, therefore, is the only Saviour there is. The key to the whole mystery of the Godhead is this: God knew that He, as God, could not die and bleed in the Spirit, for a Spirit has no flesh and bones. But His own law required blood for an atonement. So in order for God to fulfill His plan of redeeming mankind, He had to put on a veil of flesh, in order to taste death and pay the penalty for His own law, to justify the ungodly.
