Why was Christ Manifested?

 Text:  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10-11).

 Why Christ came…

1.)  To manifest the righteousness of God without the law, even the righteousness of Gods which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe (Romans 3:21-22).

2.)  To let us live through him (1 John 4:9).

3.)  To be the propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:10).

4.)  To take away our sins (1 John 3:5)

5.)  To destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).

6.)  To grant us fellowship with the Father and with his Son (1 John 1:3).

7.)  To fulfill the promise God made before the world began: the hope of eternal life, as revealed by the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ (Titus 1:1-3).

8.)  To reveal the mystery kept secret since the world began, but is now made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith (Romans 16:25-26).

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;

That we might be made the righteousness of God in him!

(2 Corinthians 5:21)
