God sent His Son to the earth by transferring his life to the womb of Mary.
So Jesus did not have a human father.
That is why he did not inherit any sin or imperfection.
God sent Jesus to earth for three reasons:
(1) To teach us the truth about God john 18;37,
(2) to maintain perfect integrity, providing a model for us to follow
1 peter 2;21, and (3) to sacrifice his life to set us free from sin and death.
Why was this needed?. matthew 20;28
By disobeying God's command, the first man, Adam, committed what the Bible calls "sin." So God sentenced him to death. genesis 3;17-19 He no longer measured up to God's standards, so he was not perfect anymore. Slowly he grew old and died. Adam passed on sin to all his children. That is why we also grow old, get sick, and die.
How could mankind be saved? romans 3;23 romans 5;12
Jesus was a perfect human just like Adam. Unlike Adam, though, Jesus was perfectly obedient to God under even the greatest test.
He could therefore sacrifice his perfect human life to pay for Adam's sin.
This is what the Bible refers to as the "ransom." Adam's children could thus be released from condemnation to death.
All who put their faith in Jesus can have their sins forgiven and receive everlasting life.
