Jesus Christ Son of God
|
|
When Adam & Eve sinned and were banished from the Garden of Eden, they fell to Earth where they were lost to sin and death. But the LORD God had a perfect plan to save man. He would send His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to save that which was lost (Matthew 18:11).
|
|
God sent the angel Gabriel to a virgin whose name was Mary. He told her that she had found favor with God. That the Holy Spirit would overshadow her and would conceive in her womb a son, Jesus, who would be called the Son of God (Luke 1:30-35).
Jesus is the only begotten Son of God because he is the only person conceived by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is related to Jesus Christ in his conception.

When the time was fulfilled for Jesus to begin his ministry, he came to be baptized by John the Baptist, who was the prophet that God had raised up (Luke 1:15-17), "to prepare the way for Him", (Isaiah 40:3; Malachi 3:1; Mark 1:3).
|
|
|
When Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit tore open the heavenly veil and rested on Him in the form of a dove (Luke 3:21-22). Jesus was anointed with the "seven Spirits of God" (Revelation 5:6; Isaiah 11:2).
|
|
|
And Jesus became Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ was driven into the wilderness by the Spirit and there He was tempted by Satan. And when He had fasted for forty days & forty nights He was hungry. The tempter came but Jesus Christ defeated Satan by declaring the word of God. Luke 4:1-13
|
|
|
"From that time, Jesus began to preach & to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17).
|
|
|
Jesus said, "I said unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins" (John 8:24).
Jesus said, "He that believeth & is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:16).
|

|
Jesus Christ came to do the will of His Father and to finish His Father's work (John 4:34). He chose twelve disciples, He preached the Gospel message of peace, He healed the sick & the lame, He healed all who came (Matthew 8:16), He cast out unclean spirits (Mark 1:25), He raised the dead (John 11:41-44).
He did all these miracles that we might know that He had the power to forgive sin (Matthew 9:6).
|
|
|
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth & the life; no man cometh to the Father but by me" (John 14:6).
|
|
|
But the world could not receive Jesus Christ (John 14:17), for these things are spiritually discerned (I Corinthians 2:14), and it rejected Him. He was tried & convicted & crucified on the cross. He said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34), and "He gave up the ghost" (Luke 23:46).
|
|
|
But all of heaven rejoiced when Jesus rose on Easter morn (Luke24:6), because He had defeated the works of the devil (I John 3:8) so that whosoever would believe in Him would receive eternal life (John 10:28), and receive the power to become the sons of God (John 1:12). "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
