He is the creator
John 1:1-3; Col.1:15,16,17.
He is uncreated John
1:1,2,3;
Col. 1:15,16,17
He is God in flesh
John 1:1,14;
8:58
with Exodus 3:14;
Col. 2:9;
Phil. 2:5,6,7,8;
Heb. 1:8.
His Incarnation and
His deity
Hypostatic Union
-
Jesus has two natures in one person. He was not half
God and half man. He is both Human and Divine. He
was completely God and completely man. This is the
correct position concerning His two natures. See
Col. 2:9;
Phil. 2:5,6,7,8;
John 8:58
and Exodus 3:14.
Jesus will remain as
both God and man for eternity.
Jesus was born of the
virgin Mary Matt. 1:18;
Luke 1:35.
"He was born under the
Law Gal 4:
4 and fulfilled all of the Law of God John 4:34 ;
8:29,
even to the point of death Phil. 2:8.
In His death He bore the curse of the law by
becoming a curse for us Gal. 3:13.
Thus in the death of Christ the sins of His people
were judged Rom. 3:23,24,25a
b,26
and forgotten Heb. 8:12,
and the result of His act of righteousness was
eternal life Rom. 5:18.
Jesus is worshiped -
Matt. 2:2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11;
14:33;
John 9:35,36,37,38;
Heb. 1:6.
Jesus is prayed to -
Acts 7:55,56,57,58,59,60;
Psalm 116:4
and Zech. 13:9
with 1 Cor. 1:1-2.
Jesus is called God -
John 20:28;
Heb. 1:8.
He is the exact
representation of the nature of God Heb. 1:3a
3b.
His death and the
atonement
Jesus bore the sins of
the world 1 John 2:2
in His body on the cross 1 Pet. 2:24.
NOTE: Even Though
Jesus paid the penalty for us all, not all will be
saved because they refuse to believe or except Gods
gift. If I wanted to give you a gift and you will
not accept it, even if it is a million dollars it
would do you no good. You would die poor, but you
could of been rich.
He was a propitiation,
a satisfaction to God that appeased God's wrath.
He atoned. He
made right that which was wrong between us and God.
His shed blood is what cleanses us from sin Lev. 17:11;
Heb. 9:22;
Rom. 5:9;
1 John 1:7,8,9.
