Galatians 4:4- But when [in God’s plan] the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the [regulations of the] Law, V5- so that He might redeem and liberate those who were under the Law, that we [who believe] might be adopted as sons [as God’s children with all rights as fully grown members of a family].

13. 1 John 4:2- By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses thatJesus Christ has come in the fleshis from God, V3- and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 2 John 2:7- For many deceivers have gone out into the world,those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.(ESV)

28. Conclusion: Christ’s life and accomplishments. It’s all fits with what we know of the man, Jesus Christ. “God incarnate,”“God and Man united,” “very God and very man,” testifies that Christ was a man, begotten by the Father, and He died for our sins, He was buried and on the third day He was raised from the dead and He was taken up into glory.
