God became a man, He set aside the continual use of His divine
attributes, and He lived humbly as we must live. He had to grow as we grow, He had to learn as we learn, He had to endure as
we endure.
Jesus never cheated. He lived the perfect human life. God did
that. God became a man to identify with us, to set an
example for us, and to empower us to become like Him. And He does that by the power of God
the Holy Spirit.
