The reason why God became flesh

is because the object of His work is not the spirit of Satan,

is not the spirit of Satan, or any incorporeal thing,

but man, who is of the flesh and has been corrupted by Satan.

It is precisely because the flesh of man has been corrupted

that God has made fleshly man the object of His work;

moreover, because man is the object of corruption,

God has made man the only object of His work

throughout all the stages of His salvation work.

Man is a mortal being, is of flesh and blood,

and God is the only One who can save man.

In this way, God must become a flesh

that possesses the same attributes as man in order to do His work,

so that His work might achieve better effects.

God must become flesh to do His work precisely because man is of the flesh,

and incapable of overcoming sin or divesting himself of the flesh.

II

When God is working in the flesh,

He is actually doing battle with Satan in the flesh.

When He works in the flesh,

He is doing His work in the spiritual realm, the spiritual realm,

and He makes the whole of His work in the spiritual realm real on earth.

The one who is conquered is man, who is rebellious to Him;

the one who’s defeated is Satan’s embodiment,

who’s hostile to Him—of course, this is also man;

and the one who is finally saved is also man.

Thus, it’s even more necessary for God to become a human

who has the outer shell of a created being,

so that He can do real battle with Satan, conquer man,

who is rebellious to Him and has the same outer shell as Him,

and save man, who has the same outer shell as Him

and has been harmed by Satan.

His enemy is man, the object of His conquest is man,

and the object of His salvation is man, who was created by Him.

So He must become human, He must become human,

and in this way, His work becomes much easier.

He is able to defeat Satan and conquer mankind,

and moreover, is able to save mankind.
