A brief answer

Last Friday I asked;
- Does the virgin birth matter? (Why/Why Not?)
- How does the virgin birth benefit you?

Here are a few quick thoughts;

YES! It matters. Here are two reasons(among many)why;

- The OT and NT speak to this reality of the virgin birth. A denial of this truth is an attack on the reliability, authenticity, inerrancy, etc. of the Word of God.

- A second reason why it matters will answer the question about how the virgin birth benefits me. Mankind is without hope apart from a perfect substitute. Christ, the God-man died that substitutionary death in our place. If He was not a man, He would not be a valid substitute, and if He was not God, He would not be our perfect sinless substitute.
