The Birth of Lord Jesus

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, He entered into time and space and took the form of man. Jesus' existence is without beginning or end, but Mary became the mother of the human nature of Christ. His taking on of flesh was necessary for him to offer a substitutionary atonement for fallen man on the Cross. In the same way, all of the human race, through they be born of the flesh, are required to be born of the Spirit if they are to be saved by Him. By being born of the Spirit of God, they allow Christ to be formed in them so that Christ's work is in and through believers in Him. This is the will of God.
