Week 46 - The Virgin Birth

Definition: We believe in Jesus Christ our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

Scriptures: Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:30-35

Study: Although the Son is fully God, He became a man. Jesus is the human embodiment of the eternal Son of God. He was born from Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit. He has no physical father and did not inherit a sinful nature. He experienced temptation as we do, yet did not sin in word, thought, or deed. Jesus is still alive, seated at the right hand of the Father from whence He will come to judge the quick and the dead.

Questions to Ask: (these will help process the truth learned)

- Is Jesus fully human?

- When did the Son become human?

- Are there differences between Jesus the Christ and God the Son?

- Was Mary perfect?
