1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Question:what is being expressed here?
Ans: Mystery (something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained)

Question1:Who was manifest in flesh?
Ans: God

Question2:What God did after being justified in spirit?
Ans:was preached unto gentiles

Question3:what the last phrase says?
Ans:received up into glory.

then turn to these scriptures:
Question4:Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Note--> THE WORD WAS GOD

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Note-->Word was made flesh and word was full of grace and truth

Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Compare verses 14 and 17 and ask him/her who is being talked of?

Question5:Who did Paul preach?
2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

Who did Peter preach?
2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

Ans:Jesus
Repeat Question2 quoting 1Ti 3:16
Ask Him Who is being talked in these verses
If he/she is honest answer is Jesus!

Question6:
Act 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Ask Him/Her Question3 quoting 1Ti 3:16
Who is God that is being discussed in 1Ti 3:16
There fish in the net FOR JESUS!
