His inspired explanation of Psalm 8 makes this clear. You did make him a little lower than the angels; You did crown him with glory and honor, and You did set him over the works of Your hands; You did put all things in subjection under his feet. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him [man].
The Creator of all mankind temporarily gave up His eternal existence as God and lowered Himself to the level of mortal man, so that He could suffer and die for every human being. Think of it! By the grace and love of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, He willingly took upon Himself the death penalty that had come upon all mankind through sin. For surely, He is not taking upon Himself to help the angels; but He is taking upon Himself to help the seed [the promised spiritual seed] of Abraham.
For this reason, it was obligatory for Him to be made like His brethren in everything [sharing the same flesh and nature], that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, in order to make propitiation [to bring forgiveness] for the sins of the people.
Paul leaves no room for doubt that Jesus was fully human. In Genesis 15, the one of Elohim Who later became Jesus entered into a covenant with Abraham by taking a maledictory oath.
He thus obligated Himself to die in order to fulfill the promises of the covenant for the spiritual seed. In other words, the Lord God obligated Himself to become flesh and blood—a mortal subject to death Heb. This was His covenant pledge. But the promises could not be fulfilled by His death alone. For this reason, He took on the same nature that all humans share.
Because He experienced the same temptations, yet without sin, Jesus is uniquely able to make intercession before the Father for anyone who repents of their sins. Moreover, He is able to provide the spiritual strength to overcome the pulls of human nature and the influence of Satan.
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ was fully human, sharing the same flesh that all mankind has - including the "law of sin and death. This means He had the potential to sin at any time during His human life. If, as some claim, Jesus was incapable of sin, it would have been impossible for Him to be tempted.
Thus, the devil could not have tempted Jesus in the wilderness, as the Scriptures record Matt. On the other hand, through the power of the Holy Spirit, He was able to resist the desires and pulls of the flesh through which Satan was tempting Him to sin.
Thus, Jesus never sinned, as He knew that those who succumb to the lusts of the flesh are practicing the ways of Satan. During His ministry, Jesus openly condemned the Jewish religious leaders for following Satan. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he is speaking from his own self; for he is a liar, and the father of it" John Thus, it was possible for Jesus to lie if He had chosen to do so.
But, unlike the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus always chose to do the things that pleased the Father John Since Jesus had the same flesh and the same nature as all human beings, He was tempted.
Because He was tempted, He was capable of sinning—if He chose to sin. However, if Jesus had sinned, He would have incurred the penalty of death for Himself, because He was made subject to the Law. This is why only His sacrifice and His shed blood can deliver human beings from their sinful nature that leads to eternal death.
During His 40 days of temptation by Satan, Jesus chose to humble Himself by fasting rather than nourish His flesh. He did not trust in His own strength and His own mind. If Jesus had no potential to sin, there would have been absolutely no reason for Him to undergo such a brutal temptation. In other words, if it had been impossible for Jesus to sin, His temptation by Satan would have served no purpose. Without the potential for sin and the possibility of being influenced by the pulls of the flesh, there would have been no way for Jesus to actually experience temptation as all humans have James In his epistle to the Hebrews, Paul writes of the great struggle that Jesus experienced to never yield to a single temptation and to never sin.
In order for God to carry out His awesome plan and purpose for mankind, He fulfilled His covenant pledge to provide redemption and to conquer Satan. He did so by becoming a man with all the attributes of human nature. A must read. Another way to write it would be to say: Booker T.

Java, C, Basic, Perl, etc. He had a human nature and a divine nature and was not a human person and a divine person. When Christ died, He died just as we die. His spirit was still alive, just as our spirit remains alive. He is eternally God, but we have an eternal spirit which is either going to hell or maybe to heaven to dwell with Him forever.
Jesus was not God and then man, He was the God-man. That is the clear teaching of Philippians Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Philippians NASB. The meaning of the passage is made understandable by two Greek words. Internally, He had the internal attributes or nature of man. But we are also told that He looked like a man on the outside.
For a complete explanation of this passage, visit Example For Christian Unity. For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. That is, Christ died.
It does not say that Jesus the human died or that His divine person lived on. We cannot separate Jesus. It is heresy to say that a human died for all humans. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans NASB. When Christ died on the cross, He did not deserve to die because He was sinless.
That is the message of many verses in Scripture. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. The fact that Jesus was without sin reveals He was not just a human. He was the inseparable God-man who died in our place — the just for the unjust.
