What is the reason for the Incarnation?
There are three reasons why an omnipotent and perfectly good God might choose to become incarnate (to become human, as well as divine). The first is to provide atonement for our sins. All humans have wronged God, and the resulting guilt requires repentance, apology, and reparation.
How do we know Jesus is God incarnate?
The term Jesus as God Incarnate is the Christian belief that Jesus is God in human form. This is the part of the Trinity known as ‘God the Son’. Incarnation means ‘made flesh’. It is the Christian belief that God became a man in the person of Jesus, fully human and fully divine.
Are we supposed to pray to saints?

What do we believe about the Second Coming of Christ?
We believe in the second coming of Christ. His return from heaven will be personal, visible and glorious, a blessed hope for which we should constantly watch and pray. 1 Before He establishes His kingdom on earth, Jesus will come for His Church, an event commonly referred to as the “Rapture.”
Is Jesus Christ coming back?
The prophet Daniel also said that Jesus is coming back. He was known for his prophetic dreams, and here in one of his dreams he tells us about the return of Jesus Christ. Here is what he said: I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with clouds of heaven!
Did Jesus know the date and time of his second coming?
Answer: Speaking of Jesus’ Second Coming, Matthew 24:36 (and Mark 13:32) tells us, “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” When Jesus spoke these words to the disciples, even He had no knowledge of the date and time of His return.
What did Jesus do in his first coming?
