175 The Incarnation Is Entirely Due to the Needs of Corrupt Mankind
I
The only reason that the incarnate God has come into the flesh
is because of the needs of corrupt man.
For those to be saved, the use value of the Spirit is far inferior,
is far inferior to that of the flesh:
The work of the Spirit can cover the universe,
across all mountains, rivers, lakes, and oceans,
yet the work of the flesh more effectively relates to every person
with whom He comes into contact.
What is more, God’s flesh with tangible form
can better be understood and trusted by man,
further deepen man’s knowledge of God
and leave upon man a more profound impression
of God’s practical deeds.
II
The work of the Spirit is shrouded in mystery;
it’s difficult for mortal beings to fathom, and even harder for them to see,
and so they can only rely on hollow imaginings.
However, the work of the flesh is normal and practical,
and possessed of rich wisdom, possessed of rich wisdom,
and is a fact that can be beheld by the physical eye of man,
can be beheld by the physical eye of man;
man can personally experience the wisdom of the work of God,
and he has no need to employ his bountiful imagination.
This is the accuracy and practical value
of the work of God in the flesh.
III
The Spirit can only do things that are invisible to man
and difficult for him to imagine,
and these don’t provide any clear meaning.
They only provide a moving, or a broad meaning,
and cannot give an instruction with words.
However, the work of God in the flesh is greatly different:
It involves the accurate guidance of words, it has clear will,
and has clear required goals, has clear required goals.
IV
The work that is of greatest value to corrupt man
is that which provides accurate words, clear goals to pursue,
and which can be seen and touched.
Only realistic work and timely guidance are suited to man’s tastes.
Only practical work can save man
from his corrupt and depraved disposition.
This can only be achieved
by the incarnate God, by the incarnate God;
only the incarnate God can save man
from his formerly corrupt and depraved disposition.
