Now let us see the wonderful truth that Christ had a complete human nature, which means that when Christ was born in our flesh, he was not simply born with a human body, but also had a human soul or spirit (Luke 23:46). ; John 12:27), a human spirit (Philippians 2:5), a will (John 6:38), a heart (Matthew 11:29), and all that belongs to our human nature.
He was not half man and half God, but fully man and fully God; however, he is only one Christ. It is the wonder, the mystery and the glory of his incarnation.
- This truth has been denied in the history of the Church.
- Some have tried to explain the incarnation by saying that Christ had only one human body and that his divine nature took the place of the human spirit or soul; by analogy.
- It would therefore be.
- Like a creature that would have a human spirit in the body of an animal.
- In this case.
- Christ would not have a complete human nature.
- But only a part of it.
However, it is extremely important that we believe that Christ had a complete human nature, our salvation depends on it!Christ had to take every part of our human nature, because each part had to be redeemed. The biblical truth of total depravity says that we are corrupted and depraved in all areas.
Our body is vile (Phil 3:21), our weapon is lost (Mt 16:26), our will is in captivity (Romans 6:16), our spirit is carnal, full of enmity against God, which he cannot make subject to God’s law (Romans 8:7, 8), and our hearts are deceptive above all and hopelessly corrupt (Jeremiah 17:9). There’s not a good part of our human nature.
Therefore, Christ took upon himself our complete human nature, so that he could suffer in it, making atonement for sin in all its parts; So, have you redeemed us?Heart, spirit, soul and strength? Of domination and power. of sin and made us, with all that we are, servants and children of the living God. Christ is a complete Savior. Thank God for him. There’s certainly no one but him.
