- While the God of the Bible revealed Himself to humankind in the Old Testament era, the revelation was incomplete. There were a number of things that waited till God Himself came to earth in the Person of Jesus Christ. Thus, when Jesus came to our earth, He revealed God to humanity in a personal way; a way which had never before taken place.

Jun 6, 2023 · The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God (John 1:1, 14), and we know that God is omniscient. So it seems strange that Jesus would say that He did not know when He would return. The key to understanding Jesus’ seeming lack of knowledge in this matter lies in the nature of the Incarnation.

Oct 26, 2023 · It is a profound reminder that God is not distant or indifferent but deeply involved in the human experience. Through Jesus Christ, God entered our world, shared our joys and sorrows, and offered the greatest gift of all: the opportunity for eternal life and a restored relationship with the Creator.

- The person or active subject of the incarnation is the eternal Son. John 1:14 is clear: “The Word became flesh.” In other words, it was the Son from eternity who became incarnate, not the divine nature.
- As the eternal Son, the second person of the triune Godhead, he is the full image and expression of the Father and is thus fully God. Along with the Father and Spirit, the Son fully and equally shares the divine nature.
- As God the Son, he has always existed in an eternally ordered relation to the Father and Spirit, which now is gloriously displayed in the incarnation.
- The incarnation is an act of addition, not subtraction. In the incarnation, the eternal Son who has always possessed the divine nature has not changed or set aside his deity.

God’s personal name is Lord, which translates the mysterious name I AM which God revealed to Moses in Ex. 3:14–16. His lordship connotes particularly his control, authority, and presence in relation to the world he has made (see John Frame, The Doctrine of God, pp. 21–240, and The Doctrine of the Word of God, pp. 3–14, 47–68). Everything he does re...
Theologians make various distinctions among types of revelation. The most common is between general and special revelation. General revelation is revelation of God given to everybody. It is the kind of revelation described in Romans 1. It tells us that God exists, what kind of God he is, and his moral standards. In revealing God’s standards, it sho...
Another way to distinguish between types of revelation is to distinguish the different ways in which revelation comes to us, the media of revelation. There are basically three types of media: events, words, and persons. These three categories correspond roughly to our earlier distinction between control, authority, and presence. But both these thre...
If we are to know God, it is important for us to seek knowledge in God’s own way. Many have tried to gain knowledge of God through their unaided reason, or through some kind of subjective intuition. But the God of the Bible has told us not only who he is but also how we should seek knowledge of him. That knowledge comes as we attend to his created ...
The great truth revealed in the New Testament is that God the Son came to our earth in human form in the Person of Jesus Christ. This is also known as the “incarnation.” When the Bible speaks about God the Son coming in the flesh, or as a human being, it means that He was fully human, a complete being, but with a sinless human nature.
Jan 4, 2022 · When we say that Jesus Christ is God “Incarnate,” we mean that the Son of God took on a fleshly, bodily form (John 1:14). However, when this happened in the womb of Mary, Jesus’ earthly mother, He did not stop being deity.

Jan 4, 2022 · During His life, Jesus referred to Himself as a man (John 8:40), and after His resurrection His humanity was still recognized (Acts 2:22). But the purpose of the Incarnation was not to taste food or to feel sorrow. The Son of God came in the flesh in order to be the Savior of mankind.
