What does the Bible say about the virgin birth?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, a miraculous act that underscores His divine nature and humanity.

The virgin birth of Jesus is a central tenet of the Christian faith, as described in Luke 1:26-35. The angel Gabriel informed Mary that, despite her virginity, she would conceive through the power of the Holy Spirit. This event not only fulfills Old Testament prophecy but also highlights the miraculous nature of Christ's incarnation. It emphasizes that God came to us, not we to Him, a fundamental principle reflected in sovereign grace theology. Mary’s role in this miracle is significant but is never presented as a source of praise; instead, all glory is directed towards God, who performs the miracle.
