The Doctrine of Christ - Virgin Birth

"To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary." (Luke 1:27)
One of the historic fundamentals of the faith is the virgin birth of Christ. It begins with the supernatural conception of Jesus Christ in the womb of Mary without the seed of a man. The miraculous birth is verified by the statement that she was a virgin when she gave birth to Christ (Matt. 1:23-25). By means of the Virgin Birth, Jesus had the human nature of His mother and the sinless, divine nature of His Father.
Illustration: Those who deny the Virgin Birth tend also to deny His deity, so must necessarily question the integrity of the Scriptures.
Application: The miracle of the Virgin Birth involved the yieldedness of Mary. This attitude is reflected in her last recorded words, which are a good standard for Christians today, "Whatsoever he (Jesus) saith unto you, do it" (John 2:5).
