Why did Jesus come in the human form though He is Almighty God?

There are many people in the world who claim to follow Jesus. Why is it, then, that they do not keep the new covenant Jesus established?
The purpose of Jesus’ coming to this earth is to give eternal life to human beings who are destined to die because of their sins. In order to lead us to salvation, Jesus established the new covenant on the day of the Passover and became a sin offering for us,…
The Biblical Sabbath Is Saturday. Then, Why Do Most Churches Worship on Sunday?

I am taught that the history of the Israelites was written to teach us. Israel was destroyed by Rome in AD 70. The people of Israel were very proud of being God’s chosen people. Yet, why and how were they destroyed? And what lesson does this history give us today?
It was around AD 30. The religious leaders of Israel accused Jesus―God who came to this earth in human form for the salvation of mankind―and brought Him before Pilate, the governor of Judea. The Jews, who were gathered at the…
The Bible calls Jesus the “High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek.” What does it mean?

What Is the Composition of the Bible? Some people insist that the Bible has more than 66 books. Is that true?

The gospel of Christ was preached to the Gentiles in the New Testament times (Ac 10:11). Then, what about in the Old Testament times? Was the gospel preached to the Gentiles in the Old Testament times, too?
When we read, “No foreigner is to eat of it. Any slave you have bought may eat of it after you have circumcised him” (Ex 12:43–45), we can understand that those who got circumcised could keep the Passover even though…
The name “Samaria” appears often in the Bible. What kind of place is Samaria? Why did the Jews distinguish themselves especially from the Samaritans?
Division of the Kingdom of Israel In order to know about Samaria, let’s take a brief look at the history of the Kingdom of Israel first. The first king of Israel was Saul. However, as Saul disobeyed God, the throne…
I am told that the Old Testament can be interpreted as a shadow and the New Testament as its reality. What are the Biblical grounds for believing that?
The Bible testifies that the law of the Old Testament is only “a shadow of the good things that are coming” (Heb 10:1). It also says in the Bible that God made known from ancient times what was still to…
In Matthew 22, Jesus said that the first commandment is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” But isn’t the commandment, “You shall have no other gods before God,” the first commandment?

Every religion has its own dietary restrictions. I’ve learned that there are some food restrictions in Christianity as well. However, the dietary regulations vary from church to church. Which of them are right? What are the Biblical dietary standards?
There are certain foods that God prohibits His people from eating. These food regulations existed from the Creation to the New Testament times. What we should pay attention to is that God gave His people different dietary laws in each…
Why did Jesus liken false prophets to whitewashed tombs in Matthew 23?
Jesus taught many things in parables while preaching the good news of the kingdom of heaven. The reason He used parables was to make the truth known only to those who had been given the knowledge of the secrets of…
What is the background of the Passover controversy at the Council of Nicaea and the situation after it?

Nowadays, Christianity is the world’s largest religion in terms of the number of followers, but I am told that the Christian Church was severely persecuted in the time of the early Church. Why was it so persecuted? And how did the early Christians keep their faith in the midst of such severe persecution?
First of all, we must understand that persecution and hardship always accompany God''s people, who hope for heaven and live a sincere life of faith, regardless of era (Ro 8:17). 2,000 years ago, Satan persecuted the Christian Church that followed…
Jesus definitely said on the cross, “It is finished.” If then, we don’t need to keep the regulations such as the Sabbath and the Passover any longer, do we?
Do the words, “It is finished” (Jn 19:30), which Jesus said before He died on the cross mean that we don’t need to do anything? Jesus’ words mean that what He had to do on the earth at His first…
The Bible says, “Love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.” Is there any specific way to practice it?
The Pharisees tested Jesus with this question: “Which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “ ‘Love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest…
