What does the Bible say about Jesus being a real man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that Jesus is a real man, fully human and fully divine, necessary for atoning for sin.

The necessity of Jesus being a real man is central to the Christian faith, as articulated in Acts 2:22-23. Peter emphasizes that Jesus of Nazareth was 'a man approved of God' who performed miracles by God's power. His humanity is critical because the same nature that sinned must also render satisfaction for sin. Only a real man, with a genuine human soul and body, could bear the sins of humanity. This truth reflects the mystery of the God-man—fully God and fully man—necessary for our salvation. Through His humanity, Jesus could bear our sins and fulfill the law on our behalf, demonstrating that God provided a perfect substitute for sinners.
