Communication

God's ultimate communication is through Jesus, who became human to reveal God's love and purpose. The Bible instructs Christians to communicate through songs, speeches, and letters to build each other up. Jesus directly communicated with people by speaking to them in ways they could understand about their lives and nature. The apostles and early Christians further communicated the gospel through verbal preaching and written letters and books that were shared among the first churches.

God’s communication in NT:


The ultimate way that God communicates with us is through his son, Jesus (Hebrews 1:1-2).
God knew that there was no better way for us to understand the depth of his purpose for us
than by becoming human and living among us.
The Scriptures have a lot to say about our speech and communication. God's Word calls us to
speak to one another in “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs” using our words for “building
up” in order it “might give grace to those who hear” (Ephesians 4:29, 5:19)
a.Incarnation as god's communication:
The incarnation is the Christian belief that God took human form by becoming Jesus.
Incarnation literally means 'to take on flesh'. For Christians, the incarnation shows that Jesus
was fully God and fully human. It is an essential part of belief in the Trinity, and in many
ways it forms the basis of Christianity.
Incarnation means 'made flesh'. It is the Christian belief that God became a man in the person
of Jesus, fully human and fully divine. God becoming human in the form of Jesus
Reasons for the incarnation:
 To save us by reconciling us with God.
 To reveal God's love to us.
 To show us a perfect model of holiness.
 To make us "partakers of the divine nature"(2 Peter 1:4)-in other words to "divinize"
us.
b. Jesus and communication:
During His lifetime, Jesus communicated directly with our ancient brothers and sisters in
distinctly human ways. He travelled by various means throughout their lands. He met them
where they lived, worked, and worshipped. He spoke to them directly, using gestures, words,
and images they could grasp. Jesus knew the nature of people, their inside. He also knew
their life situation, their outside, the external factors and forces which shaped them. He used
this knowledge of people to communicate effectively with them.
c. Apostles and their Methods of communication- verbal and written:
First, to become a better communicator, we must learn to become a good listener. “Everyone
should be quick to listen”. Second, to become a good communicator, we must learn to
become a guided speaker. “Slow to speak”. Finally, to become a good communicator, we
must learn to become a gentle responder. “Slow to become angry.”
The Disciples of Christ played a significant role in New Testament writers did not all write
themselves but rather made use of scribes who were professionals. In Christian
congregations, the writers of the books of the New Testament, such as for example in the
letters.
The New Testament comprises of stories, teachings, and letters that were disseminated
among the first Christian churches. It has letters from apostles such as Paul and Peter which
are amongst the earliest writings in the New Testament. These letters were intended to be
read audibly by believers. Subsequent to the recipients hearing the message intended for
them, they often learned it and shared it with neighbouring Christian groups and societies.
