“God Became Man vs. Man Becomes God”

 

“God Became Man vs. Man Becomes God”

Core Truth:

God becoming man is the procedure and process; man becoming God in life and nature but not in the Godhead is the result and purpose. 

God became man to impart himself into humanity; man becoming God is the highest completion of divine life in believers. 

Item	God Became Man	Man Becomes God
Meaning	God entered humanity through incarnation.	Man receives God's life and nature and is transformed into His image (but not the Godhead).
Spiritual Sequence	Eternal Purpose → Incarnation → Human Living → Crucifixion → Resurrection → Life-giving Spirit	Regeneration → Nourishing → Sanctification → Renewing → Transformation → Building → Conformation → Glorification
Relationship	Cause Source Divine Dispensing God brought into man The First God-man	Result Issue Consummation of Divine Dispensing Man brought into God Many God-men
Biblical Examples	Christ as the incarnate Word (John 1:14) Jesus as the prototype God-man The only begotten Son	Peter partaking of the divine nature  (2 Pet. 1:4) Paul living Christ (Gal. 2:20) Many sons conformed to the Firstborn Son (Rom. 8:29)
Present Application	Receive Christ as life daily. Enjoy God's dispensing through prayer and the Word. Experience Christ's death and resurrection.	Live by the indwelling Spirit daily. Be transformed in thoughts, disposition, and living. Express Christ in family life, church life, and service.
Burden of the Ministry	To reveal God's eternal economy. To show that salvation is more than forgiveness. To unveil God's desire to dispense Himself into man.	To lead believers into organic salvation. To help believers become the corporate expression of God. To bring the church to maturity and glorification.
Prophesying Guidance	Speak concerning Christ's incarnation and processes. Testify how God became a man. Present Christ as the prototype God-man.	Speak concerning transformation and glorification. Testify how believers are becoming God's expression. Present the church as the reproduction of Christ.
One-Sentence Prophecy	God became man to bring God into man; man becomes God in life and nature to bring man into God for His corporate expression.
Conclusion	God's becoming man is the procedure. Incarnation begins the economy. The Head is produced.	Man becoming God is the fulfillment. Glorification consummates the economy. The Body is built up.
Key Scriptures	John 1:1,14 Romans 8:3 1 Corinthians 15:45b Philippians 2:6-8 Hebrews 2:14	John 1:12-13 Romans 8:29-30 2 Corinthians 3:18 2 Peter 1:4 1 John 3:2 Revelation 21:2,10-11
Ultimate Conclusion	God became man through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection to become the life-giving Spirit. Man becomes God in life, nature, expression, and glory (but never in the Godhead) through God's organic salvation, culminating in the New Jerusalem as the eternal corporate expression of the Triune God.
