44 – Faith in the Incarnate Son of God…
What Does Incarnate Mean?
How Was Jesus God Incarnate?
By GotQuestions.org
Question: "What does incarnate mean?
How was Jesus God incarnate?"
Answer: The Latin verb incarnate meant “to make flesh.” 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 a deity. Although Jesus became fully human (Hebrews 2:17), He retained His status as God (John 1:1, 14). How Jesus is able to be both man and God simultaneously is one of the great mysteries of Christianity but is nevertheless a test of orthodoxy (1 John 4:2; 2 John 1:7). Jesus has two distinct natures, divine and human. “Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me” (John 14:11).

Faith in the Incarnate
Son of God
1Everyone who believes
that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father
loves His Child as well. 2This is how we know that we love the children
of God: by loving God and carrying out His commands. 3In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
5Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes
that Jesus is the Son of God. 6This is the one who came
by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water
and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies because the Spirit is the
truth. 7For there are three that testify: 8the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the
three are in agreement. 9We accept human
testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God,
which he has given about his Son. 10Whoever believes in
the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made
him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has
given about his Son. 11And this is the testimony: God has given us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of
God does not have life. 1 John NIV @ http://biblehub.com/niv/1_john/5.htm And at the Variety of
