Albert Mohler: Must We Believe the Virgin Birth?

An excellent piece by Dr. Mohler on why the Virgin birth is essential to the Christian faith, despite the sniggers and sneers from our more “enlightened” friends.

Implications, indeed. If Jesus was not born of a virgin, who was His father? There is no answer that will leave the Gospel intact. The Virgin Birth explains how Christ could be both God and man, how He was without sin, and that the entire work of salvation is God’s gracious act. If Jesus was not born of a virgin, He had a human father. If Jesus was not born of a virgin, the Bible teaches a lie.

Read it all and reflect on it.
