The Necessity of the God-Man
Patrick Edwards
Genesis 15: 7-16
Introduction
This morning marks our third Advent service and it is the last Sunday morning we will spend together before Christmas morning.

Today, both this morning and this evening, we will discuss the necessity of Jesus Christ for salvation. As we've studied why God became man over the last two weeks we've talked about the love of God for sinners, and last week we talked about how Jesus became man to satisfy the justice and wrath of God. Today, we will then talk about why God had to come Himself, why He couldn't send someone else, and why He came as a baby. And so this morning we begin our study of the necessity of the God-Man, by looking at the necessity of God coming to earth.
As we've discussed many times over the past two weeks, perfect righteousness is required in order to have fellowship with God and inherit eternal life. You must be perfect in order to have fellowship with God. Last week we discussed how t ...
