by Robert Dean
Passage: Romans 5:12 & Genesis 15:6
Series: Interlocked (2023)
Duration: 1 hr 11 mins 9 secs

• When Jesus saves, He also imputes
• For Jesus to be the Savior, He had to be sinless
• Jesus: Son of God and Son of Man
• The incarnation of Christ is the clearest revelation of God
• What was mankind’s response?

Why was it necessary for Jesus to be sinless in order to die for our sins? Listen to this lesson to learn that only someone who was sinless could pay for the sins of all mankind. So Jesus had to be born of a virgin not to receive a sin nature and had to live a sinless life. Hear a definition of imputation and understand that when someone believes in Christ as their Savior divine righteousness is imputed to them. Hear the importance of the missing "article" in Mary's genealogy in Luke.

Why should we rely on God's promises when we need strength? Our memory verse today is a statement to Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, spoken by the Angel, Gabriel.

Series: Interlocked (2023)
Duration: 58 mins 20 secs

Previously ...
• The Jews were expecting two things from God
• The incarnation of Christ: the God-man
• The virgin birth of Christ
• Why a virgin birth? – Part 1

Why was the virgin birth necessary for Christ's birth? Listen to this lesson to learn that men pass down the sin nature to each member of the human race. Since Christ was fully God as well as fully man, He could not have a sin nature in order to qualify to die for the sins of all. Learn the role of the Holy Spirit in the virgin birth and how when anyone believes in Christ they receive the imputation of Christ's righteousness.

What is the "Bride of Christ"? Listen to this message to learn that during the current Church Age all believers are part of the body of Christ and are the Bride of Christ.

During our lifetimes Christ is preparing us for the Marriage Feast of the Lamb by cleansing us and readying us to be presented as a glorious Church without spot or blemish to the Father. As a result we are to focus on serving Christ rather than only our own wants and wishes.
