~ Incarnate ~
This
series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God. Generally, we move in alphabetical order.
Introduction ~ The
incarnation of Christ is a central Christian doctrine that assures us that God became flesh — God
assumed a human nature and became a man in the form of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God. Jesus Christ was truly God and truly man.
Scripture ~ “The Word
[Jesus Christ] 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” (John
1:14).
“Jesus
said to him, ‘Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me,
Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say,
‘Show us the Father?’ Do you not believe
that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to
you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does
the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or
else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves” (John 14:9-11).
“Seeing
then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not
have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all
points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come
boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help
in time of need” (Hebrews 4:14-16).
