Why is it important that Jesus was born of a virgin?

Answered in 3 sources

Jesus' virgin birth is crucial because it signifies his divinity and separation from Adam's sinful nature.

The virgin birth of Jesus is significant as it underscores the doctrine of his being the God-man; he was conceived by the Holy Spirit, thus he did not inherit Adam's sinful nature. Charles Spurgeon highlighted this when he stated that Christ was born of a woman that he might be human but not of a man that he might not be sinful. This unique birth is essential because it enables Jesus to be the perfect sacrifice who could atone for the sins of his people without having to account for his own sins, ensuring the righteousness required for salvation.
