Bible Question: Why is Jesus' name used instead of Emmanuel, when the Bible says "you shall call His name Emmanuel" which means Christ with us? |
Bible Answer: Isaih 7:14 "Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call him Immanuel" This name is an affirmation of the highest of blessings, "God with us". From with out. When ever God called a person or group to do something seemingly impossiable challange, he reminded them of his all-sufficient promise, "Certainly I will be with thee." Examples Exodus 3:12, Joshua 1:5, Haggi 1:13.In santifactcation, Christ is present dwelling with in John 14:23 "Internally", and continuously completing the work he began at conversion Phillippians 1:6. The "God with Us" relationship is effective also in securing a definite conquest with Christ. The engaged in spiritual warfare which cannot be waged, much less won, without Immanuel, the presence of God with us. we have assurance that Gods presence will be with us Joshua 1:5. we are victorious in Christ because Christ is in us working Phillippians 2:13, and we are in Christ winning Romans 8:37. A deep consolation in Christ flows from Immanuel promise. Scripture gives the promise of the presence of God as an assurance to the preplexed Genesis 28:15, an encouragement for the servant Exdous 3:12, a fortification for the timid Jeremiah 1:8, a confidence for the teacher Matt. 28:20, a rest for the pilgrim Exodus 33:14, and a strength for the fearful Hebrews 13:5,6. This is all I could find I hope that it helps clarify, the difference between the old testament and the new testament promise. Old testament God is with us, New Testament of Jesus is recieved at salvation then he dwells within us. God Bless |
