The Virgin Birth-Does It Matter?


Our book has a chapter that discusses the birth of Jesus.

Some might ask, "Does it really matter?" However, this along with the fact that God Created the Heavens and the Earth, is one of the foundational items of the Christian faith. If these two facts are fables, how could the rest of the words of Scripture be trusted? We want to claim salvation, but the promises which provide for our assurance of salvation come from the same book which speaks of Creation and of the virgin birth of Jesus.

If God Created many aspects of Creation by simply speaking them into existence, how hard is it to believe that he could bring his Son into his fleshly body through a miraculous means? If we believe other miracles in the Bible, why would we want to reject such a central truth of Scripture? The virgin birth is also important in that it confirms the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
