What does the Bible say about the virgin birth of Christ?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible affirms the virgin birth of Christ as a fulfillment of prophecy, specifically in Isaiah 7:14, symbolizing that Jesus is God with us.
The virgin birth of Christ is not only a miraculous act but also a fulfillment of prophecy. As stated in Matthew 1:22-23, this event took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, who declared, 'Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is God with us.' This underscores the significance of Christ's incarnation as God entering human history in a unique and redemptive way. Furthermore, it emphasizes that Christ's nature is both divine and human, necessary for the salvation of His people, as He must be sinless to be our Savior.
