Basics #2 Jesus

Jesus Christ was both fully human and fully God, a truth essential to understanding salvation. His humanity was necessary so He could represent us, serve as our substitute sacrifice, and be our mediator. Through the virgin birth, Jesus became fully human while remaining sinless, experiencing all human weaknesses, emotions, and temptations. His deity was equally necessary because only God could bear the penalty for all sin and accomplish salvation. Jesus demonstrated His divine nature through His power, knowledge, and sovereignty. Even after His resurrection, Jesus remains human forever, continuing to relate to our experiences while interceding for us in heaven.
