The Humanity of Christ: Part 9 - The Virgin Birth, Sonship, Lordship, Redeemership

TBC Glassboro Sermons and More · The Humanity Of Christ: Part 9 - The Virgin Birth, Sonship, Lordship, Redeemership

After examining the evidence, it is clear that Mary was a virgin when she conceived the human body of Jesus.  As previously stated, the virgin birth of Jesus is key to maintaining Jesus’ deity.  If Jesus had a human father, then He had a sin nature and ceased to be God.  Thus, to deny the virgin birth is to deny that Jesus is God come in the flesh.  Anyone who denies this truth does not possess salvation but instead possesses the spirit of antichrist.

• Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.  By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. - 1 John 4:1-3

The modern religious leaders, like the Pharisees, want to deny the virgin birth.

• You are doing the deeds of your father. They said to Him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God. - John 8:41

The Pharisees called Jesus the son of fornication.  Today, modern religious leaders want to make Jesus a good man, a great teacher, and a godly prophet.  They hold the virgin birth in contempt.  Like the Pharisees, by rejecting Jesus’ virgin birth, they reject His Sonship and thus His Lordship.  If Jesus is not God, then He is not Lord.  Sadly, if Jesus is not the Son and not the Lord, then He cannot be the Savior of humanity.
