The incarnation is the Biblical teaching that God took upon Himself full humanity without the loss of His divinity.

John 1:1 ESV
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 ESV
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
;

Why was it necessary for God to take upon Himself full humanity?

What was the purpose?
What does an event like this intend to accomplish?

The incarnation was not about condemnation.

John 3:16–17 ESV
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Christmas wasn’t the cause of man’s condemnation.

John 3:18 ESV
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Jesus didn’t come to send people to hell.
We were all heading that direction.

Christmas was the cure.

John 3:17 ESV
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
1 John 4:9 ESV
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

The incarnation was about salvation.

1 Timothy 1:15 ESV
15 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

Salvation is the purpose of Christmas.

Luke 19:10 ESV
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
John 3:17 ESV
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Salvation displays the power of Christ.

Galatians 4:4–5 ESV
4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
Hebrews 7:25 ESV
25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

The incarnation was not about our condemnation.

The incarnation was about our salvation.

In the Christmas story you meet a God who goes.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Acts 4:12 ESV
12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
