Transcript: The Bible states that Jesus 'reconciled' us to God. Reconciliation not only involves a break in our relationship, but also the idea that we need to be reconciled with God and that our relationship with God was damaged. It was our sin that isolated humans from God. It says that we were once enemies of God in Romans 5:10, : “For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” Incarnation is the belief that the Son of God, took on human flesh. This is evident in the reading John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." This refers to The Son of God dying in substitution for our sins. Romans 3:9-18, 23 says to us that all we are all sinners and that the consequence for this is death. This teaches us that without Christ, we will die and spend eternity in hell. Eternal life is available through Jesus Christ. This is His substitutionary atonement. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” www.gotquestions.org Jesus Christ Incarnation Who is He?

Another example is John 8:58: “‘I tell you the truth,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’” In turn the Jews' attempted to stone Jesus Bibliography Christian Beliefs Powerpoint
