          THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST (INCARNATION)

        John 1:14. The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory that was given to him as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

THE INCARNATION CONFIRMS THAT JESUS ​​CHRIST IS A TRUE MAN

a. 1 John 4:2; 2 John 1:7 (everyone who does not confess / does not believe that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is a deceiver and antichrist). Explain that Jesus was truly a real man.

b. Colossians 1:22 compare Ephesians 2:15

c. Romans 8:3. For what the law could not do because it was powerless by the flesh, God did. By sending His own Son in the flesh, who is like flesh which is overcome by sin because of sin, He has condemned sin in the flesh.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INCARNATION: for the salvation of mankind, through the sacrifice of Jesus (fulfillment of the promises in the Old Testament which were fulfilled in Jesus).

a. John 1:18. To reveal God to man

b. John 1:29, 35; 1 John 3:5. To take away the sins of all the sins of the world, cf. the OT, the settlement of sins had to be done through sacrifice/blood was shed (the blood of a ram/calf cannot take away sins = Hebrews 10:4). To be a sin offering.

c. 1 John 3:8. To destroy the devil's work.

d. Hebrews 2:17-18. To be a loving and faithful High Priest.

e. Romans 15:8-9. To fulfill God's promises

f. 1 Peter 2:21. To be an example to mankind.

g. John 5:22-27 cf. Acts 17:31).

    The state of the incarnation does not make Jesus Christ not God. Under any circumstances in His incarnation. The Lord Jesus was never not God. Good when He was in Mary's womb, good when He was tired, good when He sweated blood, good when He spoke on the cross. Jesus Christ during the kenosis on earth. He is completely human. but Jesus Christ was never not God, He is still God.
