The Incarnation of Jesus

I recently wrote an article on “The Incarnation of Jesus” for the new CSB Worldview Study Bible.

In the article, I give six nonnegotiables of the doctrine of the incarnation. Here’s number four:

4. In the incarnation there is no qualification or diminution of either Christ’s deity or his humanity. Each nature retains its own integrity and genuineness. Whatever constitutes God as God, the Son is this in all its fullness (Col 2:9-10). Further, whatever constitutes man as man, Jesus of Nazareth is this in all its fullness. Sin is not needed for humans to be human. It is in Jesus that we see humanity perfectly expressed as God intended. Whereas fallen and sinful humanity lives on a subhuman plane, this is not true of Jesus.

If you would like to read the other five nonnegotiables and the other articles in this amazing Study Bible, there is a hardcover and Kindle version available.

More on the Study Bible:

The CSB Worldview Study Bible features extensive worldview study notes and articles by notable Christian scholars to help Christians better understand the grand narrative and flow of Scripture within the biblical framework from which we are called to view reality and make sense of life and the world. Guided by general editors David S. Dockery and Trevin K. Wax, this Bible is an invaluable resource and study tool that will help you to discuss, defend, and clearly share with others the truth, hope, and practical compatibility of Christianity in everyday life.
