BELIEVING IN

JESUS CHRIST
 The belief in Jesus is
the ZENITH in Christian belief.
“But when the time had
fully come, God sent
forth his son, born of a
woman, born under the
law, to redeem those who
were under the law, so
that we might receive
adoption as sons.”
(Gal 4:4-5 )
 FULFILLMENT OF THE PROMISE
Born of a
JESUS GOD, INCARNATE woman
Born under
the law
REDEEMER
 3 PRIMARY CONCEPTS
ABOUT OUR BELIEF IN JESUS
1. FULFILLMENT - that Jesus is
UNIQUE.
The gospel refers to the very
person of Jesus. The very person
of Jesus is the good news.

ABOUT OUR BELIEF IN JESUS
2. INCARNATE - that Jesus is
 really a historical figure; he really
existed and is NOT A MYTH.
 both fully HUMAN and fully DIVINE.
“That which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have
looked upon and touched with our hands….- the life was made manifest
and we saw it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life which
was with the Father….so that you may have fellowship with us, and our
fellowship is with the Father and his son, Jesus. (1 John 1:1-4)

ABOUT OUR BELIEF IN JESUS
3. REDEEMER - that Jesus is the only
one who saves and redeems.
NOTE:
While it is possible for anyone to save,
however, redemption is only possible
when you have a relationship with the one
you’re redeeming.
 THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST
He had a true body of flesh and blood
He had a normal human development
He had a human soul and spirit
He had the characteristics of a human
being
• he became hungry (Mt. 4:2), thirsty
(Jn. 4:7) and tired (Jn. 4:6).
• he experienced human emotions
• he had human names
CHRIST’S HYPOSTATIC UNION
As the God-man, Jesus
Christ is neither diminished
as God or as man.
He is fully God and fully
man at all times. To
minimize the importance
of either part of this union
is to destroy the
significance of God.
