Question

1. why is the incarnation of jesus christ and faith in him necessary for eternal life? (explain by mentioning original sin, 2 points)

Explanation:

1. Original Sin separated humanity from God, creating a barrier to eternal life that humans cannot overcome on their own, as it corrupted human nature and made people incapable of meeting God's perfect standard.
2. The Incarnation allowed Jesus Christ, fully God and fully human, to live a sinless life and sacrifice Himself to atone for Original Sin and all human sins, and faith in Him is the means by which humans receive this atonement, restoring their relationship with God and granting access to eternal life.

Answer:

1. Original Sin alienated humans from God, making self-redemption impossible, creating a barrier to eternal life that only Christ could address.
2. Jesus' Incarnation let Him offer a sinless, sufficient sacrifice for Original Sin; faith in Him is the required way to receive this atonement and restore the relationship with God needed for eternal life.
