Why Christ came amoung Mankind

Jesus Christ came among mankind in order to save man. To save us must mean we are in some danger, that we are doomed. If we were not in peril we would not need saving. The danger is sin. The peril is death.  Sin is dangerous because it separates from the life of God.  Death is peril because it separates the body from our souls. Being separated from God means we lose life and we eventually die. Love can only last so long when it is separated from the source of all love. Goodness can only last so long before it depletes when it is separated from the source of all goodness. Health and vitality can only last so long when it is separated from it’s source God. God is the source of all existence and everything in existence. Death comes to every human. Death comes because we have separated from god. Sin is our spiritual disease and death is its symptom. Our being is totally dependent on our relationship with God. God is the life of our being. Death entered the being of man when man when he choose to disobey God. Christ saved us by reconciling man with God. Christ who was God paid the price, the burden, the penalty for man’s sin. Man could not pay the price. Only God by becoming a man could pay the price. Why was there a price to be paid? Because the Law demanded it. Justice demanded the price to be paid. Our punishment was deserved. The debt was impossible to cancel. God could not just forget the debt. That would be the opposite of Truth which god is. It had to be paid in full. Jesus Christ came among mankind to show us the love of God. Through Christ we know the love of God. We know that all of creation was an act of love. Christ came among man to show us our true nature and identity; holiness. This is the true purpose of our lives to be holy to be what the church calls saints. Christ showed man who man is and who God is. Christ came among mankind to change the nature of man. Christ is God in human form. By God stooping, humbling himself, emptying himself to become the man who is Jesus Christ, raised the nature of man to the divine and supernatural level. God becoming man allowed mankind to become sharers in the life of the Son of God. We have become part of God. Christ came in order to save us, show us the love of God, show us our true identity Holiness, and raise our nature to the divine level.  Our part is to have faith in the person of Jesus Christ.
