Why
Do I Have to Understand the Incarnation & Believe in It?
Because everyone since Adam & Eve, except for Jesus & Mary,
is born with Original Sin.
This Sin is mortal, making us horribly disgusting & unholy,
fit only for hell forever. Our Creator is All
Holy and cannot mix or live forever with the horribly unholy.
The Incarnation is God loving
us so much, showing us mercy that we don’t deserve (since most of us go on to willfully sin against, and disobey, Him with
abandon)… and all so that we can
be in Heaven with Him
neverendingly… for an Eternity.
“And no man hath [no
human being ever has] ascended into heaven, but [except for] he that descended
from heaven, the Son of man who
is in heaven [Jesus Christ, God’s
Anointed One, Who is fully God from All of Eternity and fully Man
from His Conception in Ever-Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Womb].”
(John 3:13 DRC)
So most of us human beings have never ‘descended from’
Heaven, have we? No, not if we’re sane & honest. So how are we ever
going to ‘ascend into’ Heaven someday, left to ourselves, weak,
limited & sinful?
Right --- God Himself, the Second Person, the Everlastingly
Begotten Son of the Father, takes on
a Sacred Humanity, becoming one of us little human beings (what Catholics call the ‘Hypostatic
Union’), and tells us everything we need to know, believe
& profess in order to be in good enough agreement with, and in good
enough obedience to, His Holy
Mind. Then, and only then, can He make us perfectly holy through the Sacrament of Baptism and, if we die as good
Catholics (we call this ‘dying in
the state of grace’),
then He can take us up into
Heaven as part of His Body,
the Roman Catholic Church. So
if we don’t care to find out, or think it’s not worth
believing in, the Incarnation… then
why in the world should God think it worthwhile to have lazy
or rebellious people like us with Him in Heaven Forever, as
if we’re on His Side and perfectly holy like Him, worthy of
being at His Side forever & ever, world without end, amen?
