Salvation Enters the World by God’s Design
In a time of fear and uncertainty, God speaks a promise, Born Of A Virgin, that reaches far beyond the immediate crisis. The sign given is not military strength or political relief, but a birth—one that would defy human expectation and reveal divine intervention.
📖 “14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you[c] a sign: The virgin[d] will conceive and give birth to a son, and[e] will call him Immanuel.[f]'” Isaiah 7:14
Those who first heard this prophecy could not fully grasp its future weight, yet they understood the message: God Himself would act, and His presence would be unmistakable.
A virgin birth is not presented as a mystery to be solved, but as a declaration of origin. Salvation would not rise from human effort, planning, or lineage. It would come directly from God.
This promise sets a clear boundary—redemption would enter the world through divine power, not human strength.
The virgin birth explains why salvation cannot be earned. If life entered the world by God’s initiative alone, then new life must also be received the same way—by faith.
This promise assures us that God meets humanity where it cannot help itself. Immanuel—God with us—is not distant or symbolic; He enters fully into human history.
The response is trust, not control. Just as the promise required belief before fulfillment, it calls us to rely on God’s provision rather than our own understanding.
Faith begins where explanation ends.
Isaiah’s prophecy reminds us that salvation is a gift, not an achievement. God chose to enter the world in humility and purpose, proving that what He begins, He sustains.
📖 “14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you[c] a sign: The virgin[d] will conceive and give birth to a son, and[e] will call him Immanuel.[f]’” Isaiah 7:14
When God says He is with us, He means it—completely and personally.
