#The existence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

●Based on what the angel told Mary, that she would conceive and give birth to a son whose name would be called Jesus, Luke 1:31.From the answer given by the angel, the existence of Christ started in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
●People claiming that Christ’s existence began only when Mary was told by the angel, “thou shalt conceive in thy womb” Implying that prior to Mary’s conception, there was no Christ yet that was in existence. But if you are to go over what Luke 1:31 says, “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS” you will realize that the verse did not say that Christ’s existence started only in the womb of Mary.
●Christ’s existence did not start here on Earth! HEBREWS 10:5 (KJV) says,
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
●The verse is referring to the Lord Jesus Christ. “when he cometh into the world” means that He did not originate from this world. But when He came into this world, a body had been prepared for Him. What body was that? It was the body that was conceived by Mary. That was the body that started from Mary – the physical body of Christ.

•JOHN 1:14 (KJV) says,
And the Word was made flesh...

●If Christ did not begin from this world, where then?

•MICAH 5:2 (KJV) says,
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
●According to the prophecy of Micah, from Bethlehem shall come forth He who would rule Israel, and this ruler came from everlasting, where the Father begot Him.

•PSALM 2:7 (KJV) says,
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

●The Father begot Christ, and it is one biblical fact that some people refuse to believe. But that is the truth. The Father had begotten His Son even before the creation of the world.

•JOHN 3:6 (KJV) says,
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
●He that is born of the flesh is flesh; and he that is born of the Spirit is spirit. So the spirit can give birth.

•HEBREWS 12:9 (KJV) says,
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
●God the Father is a spirit; He is also called, “the Father of Spirits.” •In essence, God is called the Father of spirits because He had begotten His Son as a spirit being and have created spirit beings like angels!

•JOHN 4:24 (KJV) says,
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

●We must always remember that there are two things that are in Christ:
1.the Spirit that was begotten by the Father;
2. The flesh that was born of Mary. ●He that came into this world was the Son of God whom the Father had begotten, spiritually, in everlasting. And when the Son of God came into this world, He dwelled in the body of the son that was born of Mary.

•People says it is not biblical truth that the Father has a Son whom He Himself had begotten.
•HEBREWS 1:4-6 (KJV) says,
4.Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5.For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6.  And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

● The first begotten of the Father is Christ, and He was only brought into this world. He did not originate here because He came from everlasting.

●Now, where was Christ before He was begotten or brought forth by the Father?

•JOHN 1:18 (KJV) says,
No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
●Christ came from the bosom of the Father and He is the only begotten of the Father.

●In the original Greek scriptures, it says “the only begotten God.”
•IΩANNHN 1:18 (Greek Wescott-Hort Transliterated):
Theon oudeis eoraken popote monogenes theos o on eis ton kolpon tou patros ekeinos exegesato.
“MONOGENES THEOS” = Begotten God

●Christ was in the bosom of the Father. He was part of the Being of the Father in eternity. However, time came that the Father had to bring Him forth.

•JOHN 17:5, 24 (KJV) says,
5.And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
24.Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

●Before the creation of the world, Christ had already received the glory which came from the Father. That was the glory of being the Son of God. “Thou art my son,” the Father told Him, because He was the one who gave birth to Christ; He begot Him.

•What others are skeptical about is the Father’s capability to bring forth a son simply because He is a male.
●Actually, a male’s capability to give birth is both literally and spiritually possible.
●Literally, a male can give birth.
It is the male seahorse that becomes pregnant and gives birth.
•If a male’s capability to give birth is literally possible, all the more it is possible spiritually.
• God is Almighty, and because He is an Almighty God, It wouldn't be difficult for Him to bring forth or to beget a Son.
•That is very possible with God.
•The existence of the Lord Jesus Christ began in eternity with the Father.
•In fact, they were together during the creation of the world.

•PROVERBS 30:4 (KJV) says,
Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

●The Father and His Son were the ones who created everything, including man. When the first man was created, Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...” The pronouns “us” and “our” imply that the Father was talking with another Being who was with Him, and that was His Son whom He had begotten in everlasting.

•What some people can’t accept is the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. For them, there is only one God, and that is the Father. I do not disagree that there is one God, but we have to clarify who is that one God in the Bible.

•The Hebrew word that was used is ELOHIM, which the plural form of the singular noun Eloah, which means God. Therefore, Elohim means Gods. Elohim said, “Let us make man in our image.”

●There is but one Elohim, but embodied in that one Elohim is not only the Father. Just like a music band. Although we consider a music band as one, yet it is composed of several musicians, but we call it a band. The same with family, which is also a singular noun, but in a family, there is the father, the mother, the children, and the grandparents.

•The one God that the Bible mentions came from the Hebrew word Elohim, which denotes plurality. Meaning to say, it is not limited to the Father.

•Within the Elohim are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

•JOHN 1:18 in the original Greek version which referred to Christ as “Monogenes Theos” or “the only begotten God”. Therefore, Christ is not just a man whose existence began when  Mary conceived Him in her womb.He had already existed with the Father in eternity; He was with the Father throughout the process of creation; and He is a divine Being,the Bible calls Him “the only begotten God” or “Monogenes Theos.”
