Some say that, out of intellectual honesty, they have been forced to question the Virgin Birth. What kind of intellectual honesty is this? Is it the world's way of thinking, or is it faithfulness to Jesus Christ? To be a Christian means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. This means, among other things, following Him in His attitude to the Bible. Jesus received the Scriptures as the Word of God. If we are to follow Him, we must follow His example by believing the Word of God. Where God's Word says, "This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about", we are not at liberty to say, "I don't like the idea of the Virgin Birth. It's not very popular today". Believing in the Virgin Birth may not be popular. It is, however, intellectually honest for those who love Christ to take seriously the teaching of God's Word and refuse to abandon its teaching just because modern man doesn't like it.
