GOD’S
HUMANITY

3. INTRODUCTION
The Christian faith is unique in many ways.
One is that we are the only religion who
claims that its Founder is still alive!. Also,
we believe that Jesus, who is God, became
just like us, to redeem us. The proper term
for this phenomenal feat, is the doctrine of
the incarnation. The teaching is that Jesus
took on human form but did not cease to
be divine. He is completely both God and
man.

4. This belief is based upon the Word of
God, recorded in the gospel of John,
verses 1:1 & 1:14. The Word of God,
Jesus, became flesh was purposely
done in order to redeem fallen and
sinful mankind. It was motivated by
God’s awesome love of humanity.
Since we could not go up to God,
because of our sins, God came down to
us to cleanse us from our sin. We did
not earn it, nor do we deserve it.

5. God not only came to die for us, He
came to die as us. Therefore, our sin
debt is not only paid-in-full, but we
can never go into debt again. Our sin
debt was completely cancelled and
destroyed. In Christ, we all died and
we can never die again. But if you are
not in Christ Jesus, you run the risk of
dying twice. Don’t miss the
opportunity at today’s invitation; it
may be your last chance.

6. TRUTHS ABOUT GOD’S HUMANITY
1. If God spared no expense to save us, by
coming in the flesh to die as us, He will not
spare any expense to keep us as our High
Priest.
2. Coming in the flesh makes Jesus the perfect
intercessor for us; He knows our every
temptation.
3. Since Jesus identified with us in the flesh,
our response should be to identify with Him
in the Spirit.
