Part IV. Jesus Christ ~ 29 The Virgin Birth

Biblical passages for reflection [Links to the ESV Bible]:

Isaiah 07.10-16; Matthew 01.23; Romans 01.03-04; 1Corinthians 15.45-49; Galatians 04.04;

Summary:

1. The Bible plainly and unambiguously teaches the Virgin Birth.
2. The birth of Jesus from a woman points to His humanity and His appearance as the new or second Adam.
3. That Jesus was born apart from human fatherhood points to His divine nature as the Son of God.
4. The denial of the Virgin Birth is usually linked to the denial of the supernatural or miraculous elements of Scripture.

My Notes:

ECTF>"overshadowing" echoes original account of Holy Spirit's work in creation ... reveals baby will be a special creation with His father being God Himself...

ECTF>Those who do not believe in the Virgin Birth usually do not believe that Jesus is the true Son of God.
