Why is the humanity of Christ significant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The humanity of Christ is significant because it allows Him to be our true representative and substitute in salvation.

The humanity of Christ holds immense significance for Christians as it assures us that He can truly empathize with our condition. By taking on human flesh, Jesus experienced the full range of human emotion and suffering, enabling Him to serve as our representative before God. He is not a distant deity, but one who has lived as we do, faced temptations, and endured the pains of this life, yet without sin. Moreover, His human experience affirms the value of our own humanity, as He honored it by sharing in our flesh. This connection assures us that He can adequately mediate for us and fulfill the requirements of justice on our behalf, making Him a worthy Savior. Thus, His humanity is inseparable from our understanding of grace and redemption.
