Pre-existence and Birth of Christ
Survey of the Life of ChristSteve Gregg
In his discussion, Steve Gregg explores the concept of the pre-existence and birth of Christ. According to Gregg, while Jesus pre-existed as the eternal Son of God, the term "Son" was not used to refer to Him prior to His incarnation. Gregg notes that biblical support for the doctrine of eternal sonship is unclear, and that the term "the Word" is used in reference to Jesus prior to His incarnation. Gregg also delves into the details surrounding Jesus' birth and the expectations of both Jews and Gentiles at the time.
