Theology Part 3 ( Divinity of Jesus Christ and His Attributes ) By Ps. Thomas Valliath

Описание: "Theology Part 3," focuses on the divinity of Jesus Christ and His attributes, emphasizing His equality with God the Father.

Here are the key takeaways:
• Jesus' Divinity and Eternal Nature (0:09-0:15): The speaker asserts that Jesus, the Son, is God, just as the Father is God. Jesus is eternal and had no beginning on the divine side (0:16-0:39), existing with the Father from the very beginning (4:15-4:50). He is referred to as "Immanuel," meaning God with us (5:15-5:25), and is always present with believers (5:26-6:02).
• Dual Nature and Sinlessness (2:23-3:02): Jesus was fully human and had a human body, but unlike humans, He could not commit sin because He was also 100% divine. Even when tempted by the devil, His divine nature prevented Him from sinning (3:04-3:29).
• Humiliation and Obedience (6:03-6:15, 6:36-9:56): Jesus, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped. Instead, He emptied Himself, took the form of a servant, and became obedient to death, even death on the cross. This act of humility was for humanity's redemption from the slavery of sin.
• The "Begotten Son" (Monogenes) (15:51-17:58): The term "begotten" (Greek: Monogenes) for Jesus signifies "one of a kind" or "unique." It highlights His unique relationship with the Father, a relationship that no one else has or ever will have. He is the Son by nature, not by adoption (18:11-19:01).
• Titles and Attributes of Jesus (20:16-22:56): Jesus claimed to be the First and the Last, and the Alpha and the Omega, signifying His eternal and supreme authority (20:16-21:51). He is called Lord, meaning He has dominion and Lordship over all (21:53-22:08). The speaker also highlights that attributes ascribed to Yahweh in the Old Testament are applied to Jesus in the New Testament, further proving His divinity (29:04-35:48).
• Shared Divine Attributes with God (40:30-49:10): The video lists several attributes of God that are also present in Jesus:
• Life: Just as God has life, so does Jesus, possessing eternal life that He can give to others (36:28-37:40).
• Self-Existing: Jesus, like the Father, has no beginning; He is self-existent and uncreated (40:46-42:50).
• Unchanging: Jesus is immutable, remaining the same yesterday, today, and forever, unlike everything else in creation (43:01-44:17).
• Truth: Jesus is the truth, the manifestation and personification of truth, unchanging and constant (44:20-44:56).
• Love: God is love, and this love was manifested through Jesus (45:00-46:48).
• Holiness: Jesus is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and serves as our model for holy living (46:50-49:10).
• Justification and Advocacy (49:10-51:00): Despite human tendencies to sin, believers have an advocate in heaven, Jesus, who justifies them when they confess their sins and ask for forgiveness.
• Inspired Word of God (23:52-28:51): The speaker emphasizes that the Bible is the inspired word of God, breathed by Him, and meticulously preserved through generations of scribes, ensuring its accuracy.
