How do we know that Jesus was fully human?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture confirms Jesus' full humanity, as Paul shows in Philippians 2:7-8, stating He was found in human form and humbled Himself.

The doctrine of Christ's full humanity is crucial for understanding His redemptive work. Paul asserts in Philippians 2:7-8 that Jesus was found in human form, further emphasizing that He was truly human, not merely an appearance or semblance of humanity. This is significant because if Jesus was not fully human, His obedience and sacrifice would hold no merit for humanity's salvation. His authentic human experience—living, suffering, and ultimately dying—was necessary for Him to genuinely bear the sins of mankind. As Paul explains, His obedience made Him a suitable substitute for our sins, fully satisfying God's justice. Thus, Christ's humanity directly impacts the gospel's effectiveness and our understanding of His role as our Savior.
