While he was born of a woman, yet he was without sin, because from his
Father, Jehovah; for he was "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from
sinners" (Hebrews 7:26); "and he was manifested to take away our sins,
and in him is no sin", (1 John 3:5) He was without spot or blemish;
therefore perfect and holy.--1 Peter 1:19; Hebrews 9:14.
[176]God says to us: "Come now, and let us reason together, ... though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be
red like crimson, they shall be as wool". (Isaiah 1:18) We should reason
upon God's plan as revealed in the Bible, because he thus invites us to
do. When we see the reason why Jesus was made a man, why it was necessary
for him to be a perfect man while on earth, then we are glad and give
praise to God. Had he not become a man, there would have been no hope for
any of the human race to get life through Christ Jesus; and the Apostle
declares that there is no other name given under heaven whereby mankind
can live.--Acts 4:12.
