“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV)

“For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NLT)

YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD) sent YESHUA/JESUS whose perfect obedience to the will of the LORD God on behalf of all mankind places all who believe and confess Christ Jesus in right standing with God the Father. Right standing is necessary because nothing contrary to the way of the LORD God can stand in His presence. As the Apostle John succinctly stated, GOD is LOVE; He is the life giver. Whereas that old snake, Lucifer – the fallen angel called the devil or Satan – the nonstop deceiver of the whole world is succinctly identified as the “father of lies” and/or “thief that only comes to steal, kill and destroy”; he is the life taker. Therefore, that which is contrary to the way of the LORD God (i.e., malevolence, malfeasance, etc.) neither thrives nor survives anywhere near the LORD God. JEHOVAH-RAPHA or JEHOVAH ROPHE is The Healer; He is the One who heals the spirit, and the soul (intellect, will, emotions), and the body as we allow (free-will) or invite Him into our lives. Whereas the devil comes both un-announced and sans invitation.

The WORD became flesh so that we might become familiar with the characteristics of LOVE. That as disciples of the only begotten Son of God we might (free-will) BE bearers of the good fruit made manifest thereof: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Whereas hate as well as unforgiveness has a poisonous effect on the physical body. The WORD became flesh and exemplified the compassion of His Father: “³⁵ Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.  ³⁶ But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them . . .” Matthew 9:35-36 (WEB). The WORD became flesh that those rendered sons & daughters of the LORD God by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus BE brilliant light as well as the savor of salt in the earth; emboldened by the Word of God, fitted in the whole armor of God, and empowered by the Spirit of God to dominate with authority in the Name above all names.
