Luke 1:35

Easy-to-Read Version

35 The angel said to Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come to you, and the power of the Most High God will cover you. The baby will be holy and will be called the Son of God.
AMP
Then the angel replied to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a cloud]; for that reason the holy (pure, sinless) Child shall be called the Son of God.

Born without original sin


Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

His Nature never changes

Hebrews 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Never sinned

John 1:3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Col 1

15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Each highlighted part in Col 1.


Philippians 2:5-11
Authorized (King James) Version
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Also, all that is highlighted.


John 17:24
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

2 Corinthians 8:23
Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.

Glory

Colossians 1:27
to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

indwells his people

back to bed, bless all daniel

1 Peter 1:19
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
One of my favorite passages opens the Gospel of John. He was the Word of God made flesh. So orthodoxy calls him "Incarnate Deity."

It's not just his soul is divine, and the flesh human (Apollinarianism). It's not just the Christ coming down to anoint the strictly-man Jesus (Cerinthianism). Nor is it that Jesus was "all Divine" and not human at all (Docetism). Nor was Jesus more like a super-human, a man who portrayed God-like qualities better than anybody else (Arianism).

No, the entire man, body and soul, was a revelation from God Himself to depict His Deity in human form, spiritually, mentally, and physically. The connection is verbal, or by *revelation.*

But the production of that revelation was real and of a true human. The connection between Divine Person and human person, between Divine Spirit and human spirit, was not conflicting, but revelational, uniting from a single Divine Source, and manifested in a genuine human spirit.

The relationship between Holy Spirit and human spirit was real, but revelational. And being a revelation from God and "of God" I like to emphasize that Jesus was the "Word of God." Boy, that's a "mouthful!" ;)

What are the atributes & characteristics of Jesus?​


Exodus 34:6-7

And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”
