What is the significance of the Incarnation?

Rob Ventura explains in this video that the significance of the virgin birth is that God became a man. God was manifested in the flesh. The amazing thing about the incarnation is that God comes down to us. He takes on flesh and walks among us. He is our representative. He is our Second Adam to do what we could not do - to keep the law perfectly. 

Without the incarnation, there is no salvation. Christ, through the incarnation, was willing and able to take on our sins and be punished. Glory be to His name!

John 1:14 (NKJV) - "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

The significance of the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ is that God entered into our situation. God became a man. Great is the mystery of godliness, Paul says. First Timothy 3.16, God was manifested in the flesh. And Paul begins that verse by saying, without controversy.

There's no controversy here. The Jehovah Witnesses, they've got controversy with it. But Paul says, without controversy, Great is the mystery of godliness. God became man. God took on flesh.

So the amazing thing about the Incarnation again is that God comes down to us in His Son. He takes on flesh. He walks among us. He lives among us. Why?

As our representative. He comes as our federal head, He comes as the second Adam. To do for us what we could not do, namely keep God's law perfectly, in our place in our room instead, and then to give that sinless incarnate life as a sacrifice for our sins. Without the Incarnation there's no salvation. The sin debt, our sin debt, had to be paid in full and Christ, through the Incarnation, was able and willing to take our sins upon Himself and be punished as our incarnate God.

Glory be to His name.
