How can God become our Savior
How can a God come to earth and become our Savior ?
The Bible (God's Written Word) tells us that God chose to, before the world began, make salvation available to humans who would fall, [wherein he did not make salvation available to the fallen angels]. God knew humans, he was going to make, would sin, [that Satan would decieve them] and that sin, evil and corruption would enter the World.
Because God is Holy, Righteous, Perfect and Just, He must punish all sin. The fallen angels would be going to an eternal place called the Lake of Fire, and the unsaved humans would go there as well. God decided that He would save those who would be Redeemed, and wrote their names in the Lambs Book of Life.
God then Promised humans in Eden that He would send the Savior to forgive mankind of their sins. He continued to reveal the coming Messiah, and eventually through Israel foretold more. And fortold the virgin birth. Why? Because the Savior would not come thru the sin stained seed of man, but be born not by man but by the power of God. Then God came to earth in the right timing and went into Mary's womb. Jesus the Christ, (aka God the Word) put on human flesh that he made where in God would dwell in bodily form. Like a hand fills a glove. And like how our soul dwells in a human body.
He would and did walk among us, live a perfect life that no fallen man could live, and because he is God and perfect, he was able to do all that would be required in order to be the Lamb slain by God on the Cross. The wages of sin is death, and Jesus took believers eternal sin punishments upon himself, to pay the sin debt to God, and by his accomplishing that work, and by the death and resurrection, he purchased (redeemed) the ones listed in His Book of Life. Then he ascended back to Heaven, is preparing a place for believers so he will return and call His Bride [the Church] into eternity to be with Him.
So all who are born again are forgiven, given spiritual life by God, are saved and sealed by the indwelling Holy Spirit, eternally bought by Christ and belong to Him.
Once each one Saved have freedom and liberty in Christ, recieve the righteousness of Christ, and when the Father looks at us he sees Jesus shed blood covering them for the remission of their sins. God sees us perfect because of Jesus perfect sacrifice.
