The apostle Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit opened his letter to the believers in Rome concerning the incarnation of Christ (Romans 1:3) and admits&nbsp;the incarnation is the underlying reason for the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:4). &nbsp;Paul emphasized this&nbsp;with the church at Galatia (Gal.3:16). And again with Timothy (2 Tim.2:6,9). Note also Hebrews 2:16.

For He was the virgin born Son of God. It is His incarnation that makes the Gospel the power of God unto salvation.&nbsp;For if Jesus was not the virgin born Son of God&#8230; then no one can be saved.&nbsp;Use this time of the year to instruct others as to why you honor the incarnation of Christ for the sake of &nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.collegeoftheopenbible.com\/the-gospel-of-jesus-christ.html\" target=\"_blank\">the Gospel<\/a>.<br><br>Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collegeoftheopenbible.com\/bible-resources.html\"><strong>See More Bible Q &amp; A<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WE HAVE COME TO WORSHIP HIM &#8211; Earnestly Contend For The Faith Jude 3 Celebrating Christmas &#8211; Does GOD Approve?
