The study of [[Jesus Christ]] is called Christology.
Jesus as the Son of God denotes the fact that, as a man, Jesus was begotten of the Father and generated in conception through divine means. Jesus' conception in Mary was done through the [[Holy Spirit]] ([[Matthew 1:20]]). He was begotten of the Father to take on the same nature of man, which includes human flesh ([[John 1:14]]).
Scripture is clear that the Son pre-existed prior to his incarnation. Jesus was involved in the Creation ([[John 1]]:1-3) and is denoted as having existed before all things were created (see [[Colosians Colossians 1]]:16-17).
===[[Incarnation]] - The Word becomes flesh===
: ''And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. {{Bible verse|John|1|14|lang=WEB}} ([[John 1:14]])''
Although Jesus pre-existed as the Son of God, [[Scripture]] says that he took on flesh and was born in the likeness of men in human form ([[Philippians 2]]:7-8). Jesus was born of a virgin, a [[doctrine]] well attested in the [[New Testament]] and found deep in the beliefs of the very first Christians.
===Jesus' life and ministry===
"When he was about thirty years of age" (cf: [[Gospel of Luke ]]) Jesus was baptized, signifying the beginning of his ministry. Jesus was then tempted, and remained obedient. Throughout his ministry he performed many miracles, healing the sick, raising the dead, and performing many signs. He told [[parables]]. Furthermore, Jesus lived a sinless life, and completely obeyed the will of God.
=== The person of Jesus ===
===His return===
Jesus will return to judge both believers and unbelievers. Known as the ''[[parousia]]'', Christians call this the [[Second Coming]]. ==Quotes==
