Q147. How did he come into the world?

In man's flesh, in which flesh he fulfilled the law, died for our sins, conquered the devil and death, and obtained eternal redemption for us.

Scripture Proofs — King James Version

1

Galatians 4:4

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.

Romans 10:4, 8:3

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Hebrews 2:14,15, 6:20

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
