Answered in 4 sources
The Bible prophesies the birth of Christ as the fulfillment of God's plan for salvation, specifically through the Old Testament predictions.
The birth of Christ is a central theme in Scripture, prophesied in the Old Testament and celebrated in the New Testament. Passages such as Isaiah 7:14 foreshadow the virgin birth, indicating that Jesus, our Emmanuel, is the fulfillment of God's promise to send a savior. The New Testament recounts the fulfillment of these prophecies, confirming that Christ came into the world to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). It is essential for Christians to understand that Jesus' birth was not just a historical event, but a divine decree established before the foundations of the world and necessary for our redemption.
