God came and dwelt among us when He overshadowed Mary and she conceived. (Luke 1:35). He was born the Son of God. (Colossians 1:15, 2:9).
"And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and
bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS." - Luke 1:31 KJV
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call
his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." - Matthew
1:21 KJV
God came in His name of salvation, JESUS, revealing His
purpose on earth: He came to save us from our sins.
When Jesus began His earthly ministry, John the Baptist declared
Jesus’ mission:
"The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and
saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." -
John 1:29 KJV
Jesus as the Son of God (the flesh and blood body of God) fulfilled
His ultimate purpose when He died for our sins on a cross, was buried, and on
the third day rose from the dead.
Jesus paid the price that only God could pay - holy blood
shed for our sins.
"And almost all things are by the law purged with
blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." - Hebrews 9:22 KJV
"For this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many for the remission of sins." - Matthew 26:28 KJV
It is by His name Jesus in water baptism that we find
salvation by remission of our sins.
Jesus told His disciples,
"And that repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." - Luke
24:47 KJV
Peter preached repentance and remission of sins in the name
of Jesus beginning in Jerusalem.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38 KJV
And preached,
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -
Acts 4:12 KJV
