God became a human (Jesus) in order to guide and teach us more effectively. God gave us many prophets, but the people did not listen to the prophets. To teach us more effectively though word and action, He became one of us.
Also, He became man in order to show perfect obedience to the Father. It was Adam's disobedience that severed our relationship with the Father. Jesus' perfect obedience to the father restored that relationship

It is about a legal process, in Genesis a perfect human made a mistake the mistake is only pay it with the life of the sinner, Adam give for inherit eternal death to humans it is like you father, he does a bad invesment and loose all the money and the house he condem you to poverty, Adam did the same, someone has to take the place of Adam and do a "good investment" and become rich and also you have a good heritage. Jesus become our "eternal Father" according to Isaiah 9:6, cause he takes the place of Adam and give us eternal life.

Jesus /God had to come to earth in human form so at the age of 33 he would then die for everyones sins Yours mine and any children. Basically everyone no matter what. Including the people who are Non Believers in God.

But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons." This is "the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God": God has visited his people. He has fulfilled the promise he made to Abraham and his descendants. He acted far beyond all expectation—he has sent his own "beloved Son."
We believe and confess that Jesus of Nazareth, born a Jew of a daughter of Israel at Bethlehem at the time of King Herod the Great and the emperor Caesar Augustus, a carpenter by trade, who died crucified in Jerusalem under the procurator Pontius Pilate during the reign of the emperor Tiberius, is the eternal Son of God made man. He "came from God," "descended from heaven," and "came in the flesh." For "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. . . . And from his fullness have we all received, grace upon grace."
Moved by the grace of the Holy Spirit and drawn by the Father, we believe in Jesus and confess: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." On the rock of this faith confessed by St. Peter, Christ built his Church.
"To preach . . . the unsearchable riches of Christ"
Peace and every blessing!

He wanted opposible thumbs so he could learn to throw a mean curve ball, he tried a monkey, but, the tail just kept getting in the way of his carpentry, although, since he probably banged his thumbs a few times, he had to give up the dream of being a pro baseball player and settled for being a messiah.

to be the like of the first man.who brought sin and death and curses onto us..as well the world.
Priase the Lord..he fullfilled the old testaments requirements and porphecies..to give us a place of righteousness, IN christ..by faith in His grace..and inherited the power that the prophets of OLD wish they could had..because it would change the world..by words they speak..and we being greater than John the Baptist..we still do nothing..with the power of GOD...at this time.
john 14:12 said..we will do greaer works than our master.JESUS. all he did..we will do greater..so put that imagination to work. then ask GOd..to create it.in love for humanitnity as well in faith..of whatsoever you ask..believe that ye have it..then..it will manifest.
been there and done it..i need more wisdom.

Because He had to live a perfect life in order to make the ultimate sacrifice.
In Jesus Name

Old Testament tells us there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood. Thus animal sacrifice in the Temple.
Jesus came to be the Lamb of God...the ultimate, one time sacrifice for all sin...for all men. Now we can accept that gift and not pay with our own blood and animal sacrifice has also ceased.

To be an example of how we should live.
To teach - to show us the way.
To do His Father's will in becoming our propitiation to redeem the world.
To offer us the opportunity of salvation and an eternity with Him in a heaven too glorious to comprehend.
