- Conclusion
In order for Christ to restore us to union with God, he had to be fully God in his divine nature, so as to reach the Father, and fully man in his human nature, so as to reach man.
And because human nature had become fallen and sinful, Christ had to take that nature with all it’s temptations and tendencies to sin.
But as a Prophet, he lived a perfect life in our flesh, and now through union with Him as our Priest, we can live the same perfect life today. All this is preparation for our joining Him on His throne as King, when He comes again.
This study also shows how Christ’s work as mediator in the Heavenly Sanctuary plays a vital part in the work of perfecting the saints on earth. 128p
