How do we know the necessity of Christ's humanity?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's humanity was necessary for our redemption, as it allowed Him to be both a just God and a Savior.

The necessity of Christ's humanity is rooted in the theological understanding of atonement. Hebrews 2:16-17 emphasizes that Jesus had to take on human nature to effectively intercede for His people. By becoming one of us, He was able to bear the weight of our sins and fulfill the requirements of God's holy law. No other sacrifice was sufficient to reconcile us to God, as only someone who is both divine and human could bridge the gap caused by sin. This union of humanity and divinity is the heart of our faith and is essential for understanding how God can both forgive sins while upholding His justice.
