The Angel and the Virgin — Part Two
To believe in the Incarnation requires a similar faith to Mary, who said “Let it be” in assent to God’s plan. Alistair Begg points out Mary’s bravery in trusting God with her uncertain future. While our faith is rational, there is much we must believe without being able to see it or test it. Like Mary’s, our faith requires us not to understand everything, but to bow before the God of the universe, who deserves our trust.
