xxxIsaiah 7:14 proclaims one of the greatest promises in Scripture: "The Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear Son, and shall call His name Immanuel."

xxxThe fellowship between God and man, which was broken in the garden could not be restored by man. God took it upon Himself to regain that fellowship by sending His own Son to Earth "in the likeness of sinful flesh" (Romans 8:3). The birth of Jesus made Isaiah 7:14 a reality: God, who on, walked in the garden with Adam and Eve, came to Earth as a male child so that He could walk with man as his friend once again as Immanuel, God with us.

xxxColossians 1:15-18 says this:

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

For by Him all things were created chat are in heaven and chat

are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions

or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him

and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things

consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the

beginning, the firstborn from the dead, chat in all things He may

have the preeminence.



xxxThe word "image" is the Greek term eikon (icon), which, in this context, refers to the physical manifestation of the invisible God. Paul was telling us that the head of the church is God, and God was manifested in physical form in the person of Jesus Christ, God with us.

xxxSecond Corinthians 1:20-22 further states, "All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee."

xxxThough people break their promises, God is a true Promise Keeper!

About these Sound Biblical Doctrine Moments

xxxIt is for the soul that hungers for a deeper walk with Messiah/Christ through a collection of thoughts on the key passages of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. It is meant to give an overview of all of Scripture while focusing on verses that shape the way we think about God and our relationship to Him. That is the essence of the Bible. Shalom with God is our prayer for you.

Your word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path. Psalm 119:105 (CJB)

- A periodical publication from us and shared from Behold Israel-

For I am not ashamed of the Good News, since it is God's powerful means

of bringing salvation to everyone who keeps on trusting, to the Jew especially,

but equally to the Gentile. For in it is revealed how God makes people righteous in his sight; and from beginning to end it is through trust - as the Tanakh (Old Testament) puts it, "But the person who is righteous will live his life by trust."

Romans 1:16-17 CJB
