INCARNATION – GOD DWELLS
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a
ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper
time.

Jeremiah 31:31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the
house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that
I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand
to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they
broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. 33 But this is
the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those
days, declares the LORD:

from the Father, full of grace and truth.

“Simply stated, the question as to whether Jesus Christ is fully God is the issue that divides Christianity
from all other religions and spiritualties. For example, the
Jehovah’s Witnesses Watchtower Society says, ‘Jesus never claimed to be God.’ Baha’s say that Jesus was a manifestation of God and a
prophet but inferior to Muhammad and Baha’ullah. Buddhism teaches that Jesus was not god but rather
an enlightened man like the Buddha.

Christ is not God.’” Mark Driscoll

INCARNATION – GOD DWELLS

understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus
Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
INCARNATION – GOD DWELLS
Luke 4:41 And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and

“I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between him and every other person in the world there’s no possible term of comparison.
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires, but
on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force! But Jesus founded his empire upon love, and at this hour millions of men would
die for him!” Napoleon Bonaparte

1 John 4:2b every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the
flesh is from God, 3a and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit
of the antichrist,

in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the
people.

Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to
help in time of need.

likeness of men.

fullness of deity dwells bodily,

“It is by far the most amazing miracle of the entire Bible—far
more amazing than the resurrection and more amazing even than the creation of the universe. The fact that the
infinite, omnipotent, eternal Son of God could become man and join himself to a human nature forever,
so that infinite God became one person with finite man, will remain
for eternity the most profound miracle and the most profound mystery in all the universe.”

Hebrews 9:24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the
true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to
offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,
26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the
foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

indifferent or undecided is to reject it.”
Mark Driscoll
