WHY JESUS CHRIST, GOD, HAD TO COME IN HUMAN FORM TO SAVE HUMANITY

The necessity of Jesus Christ coming in human form to save humanity is central to the Christian faith. The Bible offers numerous reasons why God chose to take on flesh, which are grounded in His justice, love, and plan of redemption. Below is an apologetic argument with key Bible verses to explain this profound truth.

1. GOD'S JUSTICE REQUIRES A PERFECT SUBSTITUTE

Humanity sinned, and the penalty for sin is death (Romans 6:23). Since God is perfectly just, sin had to be punished.

Only a human could stand in place of humanity, but no mere human was sinless. Jesus, being fully God and fully man, was the only one capable of fulfilling this role.

  The Bible says  “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God [that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23, AMP)

“He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:21, AMP

2. GOD’S PROMISE OF A MEDIATOR

Humanity needed someone who could mediate between a holy God and sinful people. Jesus, as God in human form, became that mediator.

   The Bible says  “For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom [a substitutionary sacrifice] for all, the testimony given at the right and proper time.” (1 Timothy 2:5-6, AMP)

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and a boldness to preach the gospel.

 PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to preach the gospel.
