What Is Christology?
Christology is the study of the person and work of Jesus Christ, and it stands at the very center of the Christian faith. It is not an abstract theological label or an academic exercise reserved for scholars. Christology asks the most important questions believers can ask: Who is Jesus? What did He come to do? How does His work continue today and into eternity? Every New Testament writer, every major church council, and every historic Christian confession has been anchored to these questions. A right understanding of Christ is essential, not so we can master theology, but so we can worship Him rightly. When Christology is clear, devotion becomes focused, faith becomes rooted, and our lives begin to reflect Him more accurately.
Why Christology Matters for Everyday Faith
What we believe about Jesus shapes everything about our faith, from how we read Scripture to how we trust God in daily life. If our view of Jesus is too small, our faith will be shallow. Seeing Jesus as only divine causes us to miss His suffering and nearness. Seeing Him as only human causes us to miss His authority and power. Viewing Him as merely a figure from history causes us to forget that He reigns now and will return. Christology provides theological clarity and spiritual stability. It protects us from false teaching, anchors our hope, and trains our hearts to respond in worship as our minds grasp the fullness of who Christ is.
Where This Christology Series Is Going
This series walks through the core truths that help believers see Jesus clearly and follow Him faithfully. Together, we will explore the Incarnation, how God stepped into humanity. We will examine the deity and humanity of Christ, and how both are fully present in one Person through the hypostatic union. We will study Christ’s offices as Prophet, Priest, and King, along with His redemptive work through the virgin birth, crucifixion, resurrection, and ongoing intercession. Each teaching is designed to be Scripture-rich, memorable, and practical, helping believers grow not only in knowledge, but in love, awe, and obedience to Jesus.
