The Christ Foretold By Old Testament Prophecy

There is a lot of evidence which point to the truth of Christianity. If the resurrection of Jesus truly occurred, then Jesus is God the son. If the resurrection did not occur, then he is not God the son.

Jesus made people change their beliefs and follow the positive ways of life. He assisted those who were weak in their spiritual lifetime and saved them from their sins. Jesus suffered and died for man’s sins which set each person free from their original sin. He taught them what their expected to do and how to live a sin free live. Followers of Jesus realized that he was their savior. His death was an exact sign of a true savior who people believed in.

Why is apologetics important? Why did Jesus use apologetics during his time on earth? Jesus used apologetics a lot but he had many reasons for this. Apologetics is used by Christians, and it helps one search for God when he or she needs to defend themselves. Jesus also used apologetics to defend himself and his faith, especially when nonbelievers accused him of things he never did and when they accused him of not being the Son of God.

Jesus performed several miracles,revealing his power over nature and spirits, and hence confirming the Kingdom of God is at hand. His very initial miracle is when he changed water into wine at Cana (See John 2:1-11).

Jesus became proof that the bible can be trusted and that it’s rational. In the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) , It presents an accurate description of the life of Jesus and all the miraculous things that he did, making him an argument for the Bible to be the truth. In John 10:35-36 it says “And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered. So if those people who received God's message were called 'gods, 'why do you call it blasphemy when I say, 'I am the Son of God'? After all, the Father set me apart and sent me into the world.” Jesus said that the scriptures cannot be altered, in other words, what the Bible records about Jesus, including what he says about God, human nature, salvation and the Old Testament ideals, can then be trusted and is

One of the major themes of the Book of John is to prove that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God. What makes these miracles so special is the difficulty faced to create them and what each is trying to teach. There are seven main miracles, seven being a significant number throughout the bible, that are used to help better understand Jesus and his true identity. We can also find a last miracle in His resurrection, which in itself is simply put that Jesus is a part of God because of how impossible this action seemed. The last miracle is sometimes skipped as a sign that Jesus is the Christ and Messiah. This book was written from true events which is why it is made important and allows people to see who Jesus is. The reason

Everywhere Jesus went people were amazed at His miraculous powers. The Apostle John uses Jesus miracles as an organizing principle in his gospel. He calls them semeia, or “signs” indicating that each miracle was a concrete demonstration of Jesus’ divinity and messiah ship. The purpose of the signs were to produce belief as they did for the disciples at the wedding at Cana (John 2:11) and the

In order to understand the meaning of the death and resurrection of Jesus it is imperative to comprehend the meaning of the Old Testament and the covenants that God made to Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David. When God created the world and humans it was for God to inhabit the world with humans. However, Adam and Eve the first humans that God created, sin against Him by eating from the tree that God had forbidden. From that moment on, the world fell into sin. God tries to renew the relationship that was intended for humans to have with Him. Yet, as God continue to reaching out to His people, they remained in their sinful ways. Therefore, God makes several covenants to attempting to

Throughout the Gospels, we read about the good news of Jesus which entails His life, teachings, and resurrection. During Jesus’ time on earth, it is documented that he performed a vast amount of miracles that only one of a spiritual being could complete. Written is that he fed 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish, walked on water, and allowed the blind to see. These miracles are only the beginning. The question many philosophers and skeptics ask today is whether or not these miracles occurred, simply for the reason that they are outside the realm of science. Jesus was known and remembered as one who had extraordinary powers and if enough historical evidence is provided, one can see Jesus was a miracle worker and executed these miracles as they are documented in the Bible.

From the genesis of creation, God’s mission is to motivate his creation (people) to work with the resources he provides to bring forth new and good things and establish an order to a chaotic and broken world. In fact, the world that God created is good, and when humans begin to work alongside God in creation, things become ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31). Unfortunately, because of the fall of humanity, God’s creation strays away and falls short of God’s original intent. As a result, the human condition swings on a pendulum from good too bad while God’s continues to reconcile humanity. God first chose the nation of Israel, then sent Jesus and Jesus’ subsequent death and resurrection to continue God’s reconciliation in the world today. Additionally,

God has given us the freedom to choose between Good and Evil, Life and Death, and Blessings and Curses. These choices are to be balanced and constant within our lives. God’s intent for our destiny is to have eternal life, a life of peace and sanctification.However, whatever we decide, He will respect our choice.

As Lewis Chafer notes, continuity in the Bible is best shown through the fulfillment of prophecy (164). Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. And the Second Coming of Christ is the expected fulfillment of the New Testament prophecies. In both cases, and throughout the Old and the New Testaments, "highways of prophecy" are directed towards Advents of Christ.

Jesus did many great miracles but not everyone accepted what he did. The reason why Jesus performed miracles was because he needed prove that he could heal the sick and why people should follow him.

The miracles of Jesus Christ are integral to Christianity. Without Jesus’ miracles, Christianity is reduced to a fairy tale, and Jesus is reduced into being just a magic man who walked the earth thousands of years ago performing great acts to amuse and bewilder an audience. According to Mark 1:15, Jesus was not an entertainer, nor a magician, being the Son of the Living God, Jesus Christ performed miracles to announce to the Israelites that the Kingdom, prophesied in the Old Testament, had indeed come (Wiersbe, 2007). Thus, Jesus’ miracles were the signs of the Messiah (Isaiah 29:18-19) who would have dominion over the realms of nature, disease, demons, and even death (Wiersbe, 2007). Although Christ’s miracles would astound and stupefy

Though Jesus intention was not to perform miracles for him. Sometimes it was necessary to do miracles to show us God’s grace and they could have faith. Let’s not forget that He did not do miracle because they deserve it. He would do miracle to help them believe and so we would believe in him. Even his disciples sometimes had uncertainty. In Luke 8:9-10 “His disciples asked him what this parable meant. He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God had been given
