God became man to defeat Satan and his works. Satan is described as an enemy who prowls like a roaring lion seeking to devour people. However, Jesus destroyed the works of the devil when he appeared on Earth. Satan's defeat was completed when Jesus, as a man, was resurrected from death. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin and death and will ultimately drive Satan out and destroy all his dominion and power. The reason for Jesus coming was to demonstrate God's love by sacrificing himself as an atoning sacrifice for humanity's sins.
