Biblical basis of Jesus' Humanity and Deity (Coursework Sample)

Name Professor Course Date Biblical basis of Jesus' Humanity and Deity The doctrine of ‘The Two Natures of Jesus' suggest that Jesus possessed two forms- divine and human. The ‘Hypostatic Union' suggests that Jesus was born as a human. In the bible, there are several evidences that supporting the idea that Jesus was a human and a God. For instance, the humanity of Jesus was displayed when he was born from a human womb. In addition, the bible states that Jesus assumed and portrayed various characteristics of humans such as anger, hunger and thirst. For instance, Jesus became tired and weary, hungry and thirsty (KJV 1234). In addition, Jesus portrayed human emotions such as sorrow and grief. Moreover, it is worth noting that upon his death, Jesus shed blood and other body fluids that are common biological aspects of humans. On the other hand, the bible provides evidence that Jesus was a deity. Unlike humans, Jesus portrayed several aspects of a supernatural being. For instance, Jesus is considered as the ‘Most High'. Although he was born from a human womb, he surpassed the biological process of sexual reproduction because no male genes were involved during his conception.

Therefore, by being both human and deity, Jesus' life means that every person has the right and opportunity for salvation through the blood that he shed on the cross. The necessity of Jesus' reincarnation after his death is evident in religion. First, Jesus had to experience the kind of suffering and death that humans undergo in order to show God's dedication to save his people. Secondly, Jesus resurrected after three days because God wanted to show his power over humanity and death. God wanted to show that he reigns over humanity and nature. He has the power over death. In addition, God wanted to show that Jesus was his son whom he had sent to the world to suffer in order to save humanity from sins perpetrated by Satan. The reincarnation of Jesus proves to humans that there is another life after death. It was supposed to show God's people that their actions determine the kind of life an individual will lead after death. For those who keep the word of God and believe in Jesus and his teachings, they will be forgiven for their sins through the blood of Christ, which means that they will get eternal life after death. Since Jesus died and resurrected, it is a lesson to humans that their sins are only forgiven through the blood of Jesus, who died but resurrected because he was the son of God.
