WHY DID JESUS COME TO THIS EARTH?
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12)

In Genesis 3:15 the Lord says to the serpent, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

A person is promised, but an IT will bruise the head of the serpent.

"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14)

In Matthew 1:18-23, the Bible says, "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise; when as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with the child of the Holy Ghost."

Therefore, Jesus being in the form of God, "thought is not robbery to be equal with God."
That phrase has nothing to do with shape or size, because God is a spirit (John 4:24)

WHY WAS A VIRGIN BIRTH NECESSARY?
In Adam all die (1 Cor. 15:22) because by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (Rom. 5:12)

But now we have a man whose body is from a woman but whose nature is not of Adam but Divine.
He is God...manifest in the flesh.
Hebrews 10- "...but a BODY hast thou prepared me." (Read vv. 6-10)

We are to be an example to the saints.
