I

The reason the incarnate God can do the work that man cannot

is because His inner essence is unlike that of any human,

and the reason He can save man is because His identity

is different from that of any human, is different from that of any human.

This flesh is so important to mankind, is so important to mankind

because He is man and, even more so, He is God, He is God,

because He can do the work that no ordinary man of flesh can do,

and because He can save corrupt man, who lives together with Him on earth.

II

Though He is identical to man,

the incarnate God is more important to mankind than any person of value,

for He can do the work that cannot be done by God’s Spirit,

and He is more able than God’s Spirit

to bear witness to God Himself and fully gain mankind.

As a result, although this flesh is normal and ordinary,

His contribution to mankind

and His significance to the existence of mankind make Him highly precious,

and the practical value and significance of this flesh

is immeasurable to any human, is immeasurable to any human.

Although this flesh cannot directly destroy Satan,

He can use His work to conquer mankind and defeat Satan,

and make Satan fully submit to His dominion.

III

It’s because God is incarnated that He can defeat Satan

and is able to save mankind, is able to save mankind.

He does not directly destroy Satan,

but instead becomes flesh to do the work to conquer mankind,

who has been corrupted by Satan.

In this way, He can better bear witness to Himself among His created beings,

and He can better save corrupted man, save corrupted man.

God incarnate’s defeat of Satan bears greater witness,

and is more persuasive, than the direct destruction of Satan by God’s Spirit.

God in the flesh is better able to help man know the Creator

and is better able to bear witness to Himself among His created beings.
