God wants us to know the extent of His Love for us and He always Has something better in store and dont ever forget that That Jesus was in agreement with the Father when He made the decision that God the son was Going to die for us only God could save and redeem us and so God came down on earth incarnated and decided to extend His arm to us and He wants to take us deeper into the relationship with Him He wants you to recieve power with your authority right before Jesus went up into Heaven HE Gave a command that the apostles would recieve power when the Holy Ghost comes upon them and they would be baptized in the Holy Ghost and He referred to this as the Promise and this promise is to you to your childrent and to all who are afar off
and He Loves you so much He isnt Going to force this on you but He does want you to Go threw this so you do not walk powerless in your walk in relationship with Him and the Holy Ghost longs for worship and fellow ship with us He is God in us and He wants you and He Loves you just thought you should hear this :)

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

To head off fruitless debate here, I would like to point out that whether or not one is a Trinity believer it remains true that through the Son, just as you said, "God came down on earth" in a spiritual sense "incarnated" (which merely means "as the embodiment of God's person or personality in Christ") and extended "His arm to us and He wants to take us deeper into the relationship with Him"

Whether we believe Jesus was literally God or literally the perfect reflection of God as is an image, I think we can comfortably agree that the Father was clearly seen in the Son. John 14:7 "If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."

If we would all simply accept that Jesus perfectly shine the ways of the Father to us (for there can be no light but God) then we could get past much disagreement and proceed to move on together to additional edification.

Let us each one use what we learn to correct our self, each one reserving his or her own condemnation to the sin within his or her own self and not for searching out the fault of our brothers as though our self is already perfect.

When the time comes, we will all see and know him as he is. (1 John 3:2)

Power to do and authority over what? Many say that Jesus died to take away our sins. But I ask, Did jesus die to take away sin or to acquit us of the guilt of sin?

John tells us, 1 John 3:5 ".. he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. So we see that there are two parts to this. (1) Jesus was manifested to take away sins, and (2) Jesus died to acquit us of the guilt for sin.

I ask you, are we failing to understand how his manifestation works to take away our sin?

Are we failing to see that his manifestation was so that we could observe his walk after the commandment and spirit of God, so that we might imitate that walk and thus conquer sin, destroying it out of our lives?

We must teach our self before we can teach anyone else. Does not that power in a large way come by the righteousness of Christ? Is it not true that righteousness is a more perfect knowledge and the wisdom to use that knowledge? Is that not what we see at Romans 10 1-4 when we examine that word, "epignosis"?
