My previous posting referred to the fulfilment of hundreds of prophecies, in the life, death and resurrection from the dead of the Lord Jesus Christ, The Son of God, prophecies rooted in history, and contained in the Hebrew Scriptures ("The Old Testament").

Here are two Internet postings documenting some of those prophecies.

Son of God

The Lord Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of The Living God, announced to be so, by the Angel of the Lord at the annunciation of His conception, recognized by many during His mission, documented in ~60 places in the New Testament Scriptures, and confirmed by His glorious resurrection from the dead following His crucifixion:-

"The sacred writings contain preliminary reports by the prophets on God's Son. His descent from David roots Him in history; His unique identity as Son of God was shown by the Spirit when Jesus was raised from the dead, setting Him apart as the Messiah, our Master. Through Him we received both the generous gift of His life and the urgent task of passing it on to others who receive it by entering into obedient trust in Jesus."

Romans 1 :3-4

The Apostle John tells us why he wrote his Gospel:-

"But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in Him you will have life by the power of His name."

John 20:31

clearly testifying that:-

"This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him."

1 John 4:9
