Is Mary the Mother of God?

Most people worship Mary to draw closer to Jesus Christ.

2 Standard Principle to prove:
- it is true, if Mary is the mother of Jesus.
-it is true, if Jesus is the real god.

Notice Luke 1:31-35, angel's message to Mary before conceiving Jesus Christ. It is true that Mary is the mother of Jesus here on earth. But the bible text indicate that Jesus will be called Son of Almighty.

Who is the Almighty? The answer is in Psalms 83:18, hence this proves that Jesus is not god, he is the son of god.

John 17:3 encourages us to have exact knowledge of Jehovah God and of his son, Jesus Christ.

Psalms 90:2 - Jah doesn't have start nor end, hence it is now clear that Mary is mother to Jesus Christ who is the son of god.

What can we learn from Mary?

God chooses Mary to become the mother of Jesus Christ here on earth. Why? Because Mary have several qualities that women should also copy and apply in their lives. Here are some of Mary's good qualities that are written in the scriptures.

  • ready to listen - she carefully listen to the angel that brought her the news that she's chosen to conceive God's son, Jesus Christ
  • Luke 1:38 - she is ready to act according to the holy spirit
  • even ordinary, she is ready to be used and serve God's will
  • spiritual being is her top priority - Luke 2:41
  • she gives importance to the high standard of morality of God when Joseph was not yet her husband
  • she teaches her children including Jesus Christ about the Holy Scriptures

The Family

Family is the smallest community, a basic social unit consisting of either husband and wife, or parents and children.

When all family members do their best to follow what the Bible teaches, they, as a group will become spiritually prosperous, happy and contented at the same time.

How can harmony inside the family be achieved?

1) Husbands (Ephesians 5:28) should love their wives like their own body. If you're in your right mind, you won't hurt yourself and you will take good care of it.

2) Wives (Ephesians 5:33) should respect and honor their husbands just like the way they would honor God. Being submissive and humble, wives can bind with their husbands and will become good example for their children.

3) Children (Ephesians 6:1-5) should obey their parents to make their lives longer. Simple advises and warnings from parents should not be ignored. Example, a boy was told by her mother to always use the overpass when going home. One day, his classmates challenge him to cross the highway with them. He instantly remember his mom's advise. Even if his classmates told him he was a coward, he didn't mind them and continue on the stairs. In the middle of his walk, he heard a loud car break, he looked down the overpass and saw his classmates laying on the highway, dripping with blood. He was thankful, even his mom was thankful, that he is obedient.
