Passage : Philippians 2
Philippians 2
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!

Strikings Words - He made himself nothing . For God Jesus to become man and to live as servant and dying on the cross for the sins of others is the greatest expression of love. God has expressed , demonstrated his love for us in this.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5
14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”[g] 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Jesus coming into this world and dying for us is how God demonstrated how much he loves us.
Application of Incarnation theology :
Responsibility:
1. 18 People
who believe in God’s Son are not judged guilty. But people who do not
believe are already judged, because they have not believed in God’s only
Son.
Repent of your unbelief and Believe him as your saviour and God .
2. 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 1 John 3:16
You got to do the same thing
3. Missions : Leaving your comfort zone. Going where you are called . Serving like Jesus and sharing the same love of Christ to those who do not know him.
4. Living a life of simplicity and humility
Privilages :
5. Always remembering , "Jesus loves you/me. No greater love can anyone show you/me more than this.You are always loved and accepted .You are a Child of God. He is always there for you"
6. Living worry free :
32 He even let his own Son suffer for us. God gave his Son for all of us. So now with Jesus, God will surely give us all things. Romans 5

Indeed, this is the most incomprehensible act in history. An all holy God, the Creator become a part of his creation in order to save it. How He limited himself in time and space for our benefit and then was brutally punished by His creation. Thanks and praise to our God!
