The Fundamentals of

The Evangelical Christian Faith

Lesson III

Second – Virgin Birth

September 2, 2007

I The Five Fundamental Doctrines are:

1 The Divine Inspiration of the Scriptures

This is a Bible doctrine and therefore a Christian doctrine because it is

what the Bible teaches

2 The Virgin Birth of Christ

This is a Bible doctrine and therefore a Christian doctrine because it is what the Bible teaches.

3 The Deity of Christ

This is a Bible doctrine and therefore a Christian doctrine because it is what the Bible teaches

4. The Vicarious Death of Christ

This is a Bible doctrine and therefore a Christian doctrine because it is what the Bible teaches.

5 The Bodily Resurrection of Christ

This is a Bible doctrine and therefore a Christian doctrine because it is what the Bible teaches.

All these doctrines have the same authority, namely, Bible authority. If one of these doctrines is not true, all are not true. Depart from one, you will depart from all. One does not qualify to be called an “Evangelical Christian” who does not accept these fundamentals.

II The Doctrine of the Virgin Birth is certainly in the Scriptures

Matthew 1:21-23 a virgin shall be with child

Galatians 4:4 born of a woman (without a man)

Luke 1:34 how? I know not a man said Mary

This is not a human idea!

III The Virgin Birth was to be a Sign of Messiah’s Coming

Isaiah 7:14 The Lord Himself shall give you a sign

Luke 2:12 The sign to the Shepherds- ..a babe in a manger

Matthew 2:2 The sign to the Wise men…a star (vs 9,10)

Matthew 12:39 The sign of the resurrection- Jonah

The sign to Israel was a virgin born child Humanly impossible Luke 1:37

IV The Virgin Birth did not make Jesus sinless and pure.

Luke 1:31 thou shalt conceive in thy womb- the human thing-son of Mary

Luke 1:35 that Holy thing…declared to be Son of God. So it was His Deity, that Holy thing that made Him sinless and pure, not the human thing

V.. The Virgin Birth Did not make Him the Son of God

Romans 8:3 The Son was sent in flesh

John 3:16 The Son was given, the flesh was born

VI The Virgin Birth did make Him the Son of Man

Matthew 16:13 son of man as to His humanity

Matthew 16:16 Son of God because of His Deity

John 3:14 the son of man was lifted up- as man He died

VII The Virgin Birth made Him the son of David after the flesh

Romans 1:3 made of the seed of David according to the flesh

Luke 1:27 Mary was of the house of David

Luke 1:32-33 As such he would take the throne of David

VIII The Virgin Birth made Him the Son of Abraham

Matthew 1:1 Jesus Christ son of David, son of Abraham

Hebrews 2:16 The seed of Abraham

IX The Virgin Birth Made Him a Jew and King of the Jews

John 4:9 thou being a Jew

Matthew2:2 born king of the Jews

X The Virgin Birth made Him the Saviour of the World

Matthew 1:21 He shall save His people

Luke 2:11 unto you is born a Saviour

John 4:42 Christ the Saviour
