DG5_CR4_We Believe in The Lord Jesus Christ Dogma for Pr-Servants February 19, 2011 a) Divinity of Christ b) The Doctrine of Incarnation

The Creed CR1 & 2: We believe in One God, God the Father who created heaven and earth:  God (CR1)  Trinity (CR2) CR3: We believe in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, Begotten of the Father before all ages, Light of Light, True God of True God, Begotten not made, One essence with the Father :  Divinity of Christ CR4: Who for us all and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnated of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary and became Man.  Incarnation of Christ

The Incarnation of Christ 1)Introduction 2) What is the real need for the Incarnation? 3) How did the Incarnation happen? 4) What is the meaning of Incarnation? 5) What are the blessings of the Incarnation?

1) Introduction In Christianity the Doctrine of Incarnation is: In Christianity the Doctrine of Incarnation is: + A Cornerstone - Without Incarnation there is no Christianity + Redeeming - Salvation from Adam’s death - God’s Mercy vs. Justice + Uniting - God is united with Man Questions: Questions:  Why was the incarnation necessary?  What does it mean that God became man?  How has this been understood throughout the scriptures?

Tim Haile5 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY: “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name ‘Emmanuel,’ which being interpreted is, God with us.” Isaiah 7:14 (Matthew 1:23) “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.” 1 Timothy 3:16 Jesus reflected and revealed the Father’s glory “No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him” (John 1:18)

2) The need for Incarnation? God’s Forgiveness vs. Incarnation: The punishment: “for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” Genesis 2:17 The punishment: “for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” Genesis 2:17 The result: human “nature” is corrupted eternally and forgiving the disobedience “action” is not enough to satisfy God’s Justice. The result: human “nature” is corrupted eternally and forgiving the disobedience “action” is not enough to satisfy God’s Justice. The solution: God, to satisfy His Mercy, had to unite with the human flesh and carry the death penalty. The solution: God, to satisfy His Mercy, had to unite with the human flesh and carry the death penalty.

3. How did the Incarnation happen? The Creed: Who for us all and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnated of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary and became Man John 1:14: => John 1:14: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” => “Hypostatic union of the two natures of Christ” “Many people have sought to be God, but only one God has sought to be man.” Luke 1:34-35: => Luke 1:34-35: “Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I do not know a man?’ The angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God’.” => “Theanthropos God-man”

The birth of Christ occurred in 3 steps: 1)Divine: from the Holy Spirit and Virgin Mary forming “God Incarnate”. 2)Human: God Incarnate grew in St. Mary’s womb. 3)Divine: Baby Jesus (God Incarnate) was born preserving St. Mary’s virginity then and forever. “ This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it because the Lord God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut” Ezekiel 44:2

Why was Christ born of a virgin?  To fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah 7:14.  To point to the uniqueness of Christ.  To substantiate his deity.  To substantiate his humanity.  So that he would not have inherited sin.  So that he might be the “Second Adam,” undoing the failures of the first Adam.
