The Bible Teaches Doctrine (part 6):

God Pursues Through Redemption

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:


I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I

will be their God, and they shall be my people.


Hebrews 9:15 Therefore [Jesus] is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has

occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed

under the first covenant.


Micah 5:2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,

who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,

from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel,

whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.


Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a

son, and shall call his name Immanuel.


Matthew 1:22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the

prophet: 23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

and they shall call his name Immanuel”


John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. … 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.


“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.


“Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy flatly states, ‘Jesus

Christ is not God.’” Mark Driscoll


Hebrews 1:8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever

and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the

scepter of your kingdom.


John 10:30 I and the Father are one.


Matthew 16:15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16

Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

John 20:28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”


1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us

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.


Romans 9:5b the Christ who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.


Luke 4:41 And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and

would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was

the Christ.


“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,


John 5:19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father

does, that the Son does likewise.


Hebrews 2:17 Therefore [Jesus] had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest

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.


Philippians 2:5b Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but made

himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the

likeness of men.

Colossians 2:9 For in him the whole

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.”

ATONEMENT – GOD PAYS


John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.


Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is

eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Hebrews 10:3 But in these sacrifices

there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take

away sins.


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.


Isaiah 53:6All we like sheep have gone

astray; we have turned—every one—to his

own way; and the LORD has laid on

him the iniquity of us all.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the

righteousness of God.


Romans 10:9 because, if you confess

with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will

be saved.

RESURRECTION – GOD TRIUMPHS


1 Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.


Romans 4:24b Jesus our Lord, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.


Matthew 28:5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I

know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see

the place where he lay.


Romans 10:10a For with the heart one believes and is justified

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have

been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so

that no one may boast.


Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with

Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son

of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.


Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is

Christ, and to die is gain.


“The claim is too staggering, the event is too earthshaking, the

implications are too significant, and the matter is too serious. We must each either receive or reject it as truth for us, and to remain

indifferent or undecided is to reject it.”
