Christs Human Nature

ONE
A Fabricated Look-alike?
he most dangerous counterfeit is the
one that most nearly resembles the
true. This is why religious counterfeits are
so deadly and are often tolerated rather
than identified and exposed. Christians
in general are afraid that they will be misunderstood if they attack something that
looks so much like the finest thing in religion. Since there is often only a thin line
separating the best from the worst, they
fear being charged with attacking the genuine if they oppose the counterfeit.
Has Satan fabricated some look-alike
perversions of the most sacred doctrines
in Christianity? Indeed he has, and the
delicate distinctions have made even
theologians and scholars very reticent to
oppose them openly.
Many sincere Christians argue that
the parallel views are so close together
that no issue should be made over them.
Others believe that the difference is largely

Christs Human Nature

semantic and involves only shades of

meaning in the use of the words.
Is it possible that our mighty psychological adversary has actually anticipated
these predictable human reactions and
has skillfully created subtle deviations
from the truth that will seldom be recognized and resisted? Indeed I believe
he would be foolish not to exploit his six
thousand years expertise in the mind sciences. This is why the path of error lies
ever so close to the path of undeniable
truth. Satan has gambled that the average Christian will be reluctant to take a
stand against something so close to truth,
especially if that truth happens to involve
the work of the cross, or the spotless life
of the Son of God. Who wants to appear
to be in opposition to these holy realities? It seems much safer simply to tolerate the deviant position than to risk being misunderstood in attacking the nearperfect counterfeit.
I am convinced that Satan has cleverly
produced and popularized a disguised

Christs Human Nature

error that has led to a network of related

errors. And they all circulate around the
most sacred subject dear to the heart of
a committed Christianrighteousness by
faith, the incarnation of Jesus, and victory
over sin.
There can be no doubt that this series of erroneous views are related to each
other by a convincing chain of human
logic and reasoning. If one point is true,
then all the other points must necessarily be true also. But if one point is in error, the other points lose their credibility
as well.
TWO
Original Sin
t is very likely that the chain was started by the interjection into early church
theology of the doctrine of original sin.
Beginning with the valid biblical position
of mans inherent carnal nature, which
predisposes him to sin, the idea gradually evolved that Adams guilt was also
imputed to his descendants. Augustine

Christs Human Nature

was responsible more than any other

for propagating this view of transmitted
guilt. Through Luther and the reformers it found its way into many of the
Protestant churches.
Although the doctrine created a tremendous controversy in the early church,
most modern Christians seem to accept
the majority view today without much
deep thought or question. It is easy to
see there is only a marginal difference
between the two views, both then and
now. Adams weakened, sinful nature was
passed on to his children through the laws
of heredity, making it impossible for them
not to sin as long as they remained in an
unconverted state. Since their sin was the
result of Adams sin, it was easy for them
to slip into the error of believing that they
shared his guilt.
But there is a very important difference between the inclination to sin and
the guilt of sin, and it is that small degree
of difference that has triggered a series of
other doctrinal errors. Said the prophet,

Christs Human Nature

The son shall not bear the iniquity of the

father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son (Ezekiel 18:20).
THREE
Infant Baptism
s a logical outgrowth of believing in
original sin, the Catholic Church developed a strong doctrine of infant baptism. Only by their sacrament of sprinkling could the curse of Adams guilt be
removed from the baby. Since the childs
salvation hinged upon a proper baptism,
absolute priority was assigned to that ritual. If a choice had to be made between
the life of the mother and the life of the
unborn baby, the mother was sacrificed.
Catholic doctors and nurses were instructed in the art of baptizing a fetus
in the womb if there was some question
about a live birth.
The original sin doctrine also gave rise
to the dogma of the immaculate conception of Mary. If every baby was born with
guilt on its soul, then something would

Christs Human Nature

have to be done to preserve Jesus from

that guiltelse He could not be a perfect
sacrifice for sin. The Catholic solution
assigned Mary a miraculous conception
also, which preserved her from the effect
of original sin. Thus Jesus would be born
of a human mother without partaking of
the supposed guilt of Adam.
As an extended consequence of
their view of Jesus as altogether different from man, the Catholic Church also
introduced the illegitimate system of human priesthood. If the Son of God did
not dwell in mans fallen nature, then
the ladder had not been let down from
heaven to earth. The gulf still had not
been bridged between a holy God and
fallen humanity. Therefore, some further
means should be provided to complete
the connection.
First, it was assigned to priests on earth
that are known to have sinful flesh. Then,
a mediatorial role was claimed for those
who had dwelled in sinful flesh but had
been canonized by the church as saints in

Christs Human Nature

heaven. Finally, angels and the mother of

Jesus were accorded intercessory status
between man and God.
Already we can begin to see the chain
reaction consequences of a small deviation from the true doctrine.
FOUR
Fallen or Unfallen Nature?
ow let us look at the effect of original
sin on the churches of Protestantism.
How could they avoid the dilemma of their
belief as it related to the nature of Christ?
Although they rejected the Catholic tradition of the Immaculate Conception, they
invented a doctrine that was equally unscriptural and which removed Christ totally from the fallen family of Adam. This
view declared that Jesus was incarnated
in a special manner that preserved Him
from partaking of the nature of Adams
descendants. Instead, He was born with
the unfallen nature of Adam and lived
His holy life in the uncorrupted state of
sinless humanity.

Christs Human Nature

Again, we are struck by the marvelous duplicity of the counterfeit. He did

come in human nature, they say, but it
had to be in Adams unfallen nature in order to protect Him from the pollution of
original sin.
Is this a serious digression from truth?
Does it make any difference whether we
believe He possessed pre-sin humanity or post-sin humanity? Many sincere Christians believe that it is a minor,
moot point that carries no significance in
practical application.
The truth is that this small deviation has laid the groundwork for a series of other false conclusions that strike
at some of the most cherished truths of
Protestantism.
In the first place, such a doctrine is
diametrically opposed to the clear teaching of the Bible. At least six times we are
assured that Jesus had a human nature
exactly like ours. In Hebrews 2:11 we
read, For both he that sanctifieth and
they who are sanctified are all of one:

10

Christs Human Nature

for which cause he is not ashamed to call

them brethren. Brothers are of one flesh
and family nature. Christ is the one who
sanctifies, and we are being sanctified;
and we are all of one flesh so that He can
call us His brothers. This establishes the
point beyond any question.
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed
of Abraham (Hebrews 2:16). How could
He partake of Abrahams seed if He took
on Him the nature of unfallen Adam? The
emphasis here is that He did not take on
some exotic, sinless nature such as angels
or holy Adam might have had but the
same nature that Abrahams children possessed. They had sin-weakened bodies
and minds. So did He. This does not involve guilt. To be subject to sin is not to be
guilty of it. He was tempted in the same
way we are, yet He never once yielded to
or entertained sin. He never developed
any propensities toward sin by giving way
to it. He remained undefiled by sin and
was always totally pure and holy.

Christs Human Nature

11

Wherefore in all things it behoved

him to be made like unto his brethren,
that he might be a merciful and faithful
high priest in things pertaining to God
(Hebrews 2:17).
FIVE
Why Human Nature?
hy was He born in the same flesh
and nature we have? So that He
could be understanding of our weaknesses and inclinations toward sin, and be a
merciful high priest for us. Do the words
in all things really mean in all things?
Of course.
Paul declared that Jesus was made of
the seed of David according to the flesh
(Romans 1:3). It would be contrary to reason for these words to be interpreted to
mean that Christ inherited a holy, unfallen nature from Mary. Whatever Davids
seed was like after the flesh, our Lord partook of the same. All of those descendants
of David, except one, yielded to their
hereditary inclinations and committed

12

Christs Human Nature

personal sins. Jesus, like all others, inherited the nature of David after the flesh,
but He did not yield to the inherent weaknesses of that nature. Although tempted
in all points like we are, He did not respond by a single degree of indulgence
to any of those temptations. His life was
a constant fortress of invincible spiritual
power against the tempter.
By relying wholly upon His Fathers
ever-present strength, He demonstrated
the victory that is possible for all of Davids
seed after the flesh to experience.
Again, we read, Forasmuch then as
the children are partakers of flesh and
blood, he also himself likewise took part
of the same (Hebrews 2:14). Notice how
the inspired writer emphasized the sameness of the body of Christ with man. HE
ALSOHIMSELFLIKEWISE. These
four words are used consecutively even
though they are repetitive and redundant.
Why? In order to impress us that Jesus really did enter into the same nature man
possessed. Just like children partake of

Christs Human Nature

13

the same flesh and blood, he also himself

likewise took the same! How can this unambiguous language confuse anyone?
SIX
Jesus Had Hereditary Weaknesses
ncidentally, these inspired words definitely tell us that Christ took part of
the same nature as the children who are
partakers of flesh and blood. Doesnt
this tell us without question the kind of
nature Christ possessed? Did Adam have
any children born before he sinned? Not
a one! The fact is that all the children who
have ever been born in the world have inherited the same fallen nature of Adam,
because they were all born after Adam
sinned. The book of Hebrews declares
that Jesus himself likewise took part of
the same. The same what? The same flesh
and blood as children inherit from their
parents. What kind of flesh do children
inherit from their parents? Only sinful
flesh. Has any other kind of flesh except
sinful flesh ever been known among the

14

Christs Human Nature

descendants of Adam? None whatsoever. If Jesus partook of the same flesh

and blood as the children, it had to be
sinful flesh and blood. There is no other
conclusion to be drawn. Yet, He Himself
was sinless!
One writer, recognizing this clear
Bible position, described it very succinctly in these words:
It would have been an almost infinite
humiliation for the Son of God to take
mans nature, even when Adam stood
in his innocence in Eden. But Jesus
accepted humanity when the race
had been weakened by four thousand
years of sin. Like every child of Adam
He accepted the results of the working of the great law of heredity. What
these results were is shown in the
history of His earthly ancestors. He
came with such a heredity to share
our sorrows and temptations, and to
give us the example of a sinless life
(The Desire of Ages, p. 48).

Christs Human Nature

15

This statement described the working

of hereditary laws and is in perfect support
of Pauls declaration that Jesus partook of
the same flesh and blood as children receive from their parents. That is referring
to heredity also. If Christ had been born
with Adams unfallen nature, the very suggestion of hereditary influence would be
ridiculous in the extreme. There could be
no place for any kind of inherited tendencies in a holy Adamic nature that had never known either birth or ancestry. If He
had no inherited weaknesses, why would
the writer of Hebrews say that He partook
of the same flesh and blood that children
receive from parents? Certain it is that the
Creator did not incorporate any inherent weaknesses into the original creation.
Adam had no battles to fight against hereditary tendencies. He had the power in
himself to choose always not to sin.
Did Jesus as a man claim to have that
kind of power? No. He said, I do nothing
of myself; but as my Father hath taught
me, I speak these things (John 8:28).

16

Christs Human Nature

Repeatedly, Christ spoke of being dependent on His Father for what He said and
what He did.
Does this mean that He possessed
no deity and omnipotence as the Son of
God? On the contrary, He was truly and
wholly divine, just as He was truly and
wholly man. But those two natures apparently were not amalgamated into some
hybrid personality that stood apart from
either God or man. He was fully God and
He was fully man. He could draw upon
either of these distinct natures while living here in the flesh. But the really important thing for us to remember is that He
did not exercise His divine power to save
Himself from the weaknesses and temptations inherited from His human ancestry. He chose to live His life here as a man
in the same way we have to live it. To save
Himself from sin and the perils of the flesh,
He depended constantly and solely upon
the power of His Father. It was in this way
that He overcame the devil, closed every
avenue of temptation, and lived a life of

Christs Human Nature

17

perfect obedience. By never yielding to

the inherent appeal of the flesh, He set an
example of the kind of victory that may
come to every child of Adam through dependence on the Father.
Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness
to use His divine power to satisfy His agonizing hunger. Satan knew that Jesus had
the power of deity to work that miracle.
His hope was that he could provoke Christ
to draw upon His divinity for relief. Why
would that have been such a triumph for
Satan? He could have used that to sustain
his charges that God required an obedience that no man in the flesh could produce. If Jesus had failed to overcome the
tempter in the same nature we have, and
by the same means available to us, the
devil would have proven that obedience is
indeed an impossible requirement. Satan
understood very well that Jesus could not
use His divine power to save Himself and
to save man at the same time. This is what
made the test such a severe and agonizing
experience for Christ.

18

Christs Human Nature

If Jesus actually inherited the compromised nature of Adam, then why

didnt He sin like the rest of Adams descendants? Because He was filled with
the Holy Spirit from the womb and possessed a fully surrendered will and sanctified human nature. May we partake of
that same power to keep us from sinning? Yes. Jesus, in living His life of victory over sin, did not utilize His divinity but confined Himself to the same
power available to us through conversion
and sanctification.
SEVEN
Christ Overcame in Our Own
Nature
ad He not won the victory over Satan
in the same nature we have, what
encouragement could we draw from His
victory? I did not need to be shown that it
was possible for Adam not to yield to sin. I
already knew that. What I need to know is
that I can overcome sin, my nature being
what it is.

Christs Human Nature

19

Satan charged God with requiring something that couldnt be done.

The reason fallen man could not produce obedience is clearly described in
Romans 8:3, 4: For what the law could
not do, in that it was weak through the
flesh, God sending his own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in
us, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit.
These verses are simplified when we
ask a few questions. What could the law
not do for us because we were too weak in
the flesh to keep it? It could not save us.
Because we could not keep it due to
the weakness of the flesh, what did God
do? He sent Jesus to obey the law perfectly in the flesh. He condemned sin in the
flesh by total victory over it.
What did His victory in the flesh make
possible for us? That the righteousness
(just requirement) of the law might be
fulfilled in us. It enabled us to obey.

20

Christs Human Nature

How did His victory in the flesh make

it possible for us to obey? By the miracle
of conversion, which changes our walk
from the flesh to the Spirit. Then Christ
in us, through the Spirit, imparts victory
over sin to our lives.
These obvious truths point up one of
the great problems in holding to the prefall human nature of Christ. If His victory
over Satan, in the flesh, was for the purpose of enabling me to fulfill the requirements of the law, how could His victory
help me at all if it was obtained in some
other flesh than mine? Here is where this
false doctrine strikes at the beautiful principle of righteousness by faith.
Righteousness by faith is the imputing and imparting of the results of His
sinless life and atoning death. It includes
both justification and sanctification. He
imputes, or credits, to us the merits of His
sinless experience to deliver us from the
penalty of sin. This is justification. To deliver us from the power of sin, He does
not merely reckon us as righteous, but He

Christs Human Nature

21

actually imparts the strength to overcome

sin. In either case, He can only bestow
upon us what He attained through His
own incarnate experience as the Savior of
the world.
Some might claim that since justification only involves an imputing of Christs
sinless record to our account, it could be
done in any kind of body. But is that true?
The purpose of the incarnation was to redeem fallen man and not sinless man. To
do so He had to condemn sin in the flesh
(Romans 8:3). Our sins that proceed from
the flesh had to be condemned by Him,
and the only way this could be done was
to conquer that sinful flesh and submit it
to the death of the cross.
Jesus came to take away the sin of the
world, as John declared. How could He
take away sin that was not even there in
the flesh He assumed? To be more precise, how could he condemn sin in the
flesh in a sinless flesh?
Paul said, I am crucified with Christ
(Galatians 2:20). Why does he further

22

Christs Human Nature

state that we were baptized into his

death (Romans 6:3)? Every sinner must
pass, by faith, through the crucifixion and
resurrection experience with Christ. In
order to pass from death to life, every one
of us must identify with the One who represented us as the second Adam. Our sins
were in Him. When He died, we died; and
the penalty against our sins was satisfied
and exhausted.
Cant you see that He had to carry our
own fallen nature to that cross in order to
make it possible for our sinful nature to
be put to death? Anything less would have
failed to satisfy the justice of God. Christ
had to surrender condemned humanity to the full wages of sin on that cross
in order to make atonement possible for
us. Otherwise, we could not identify with
Him or be crucified with Him. Obviously,
redemption requires that Jesus live and
die with the nature of fallen man in order
to provide the vital link of justification.
Now let us look at the requirements
of sanctification.

Christs Human Nature

23

EIGHT
Participating in Christs Victory
anctification is not a mere crediting
or accounting. It is the imparting of
something to us. Just as He imputes justification to deliver us from the guilt of
sin, He now imparts sanctification to deliver us from the power of sin. What is the
sanctification He imparts? It is our actual
participation in the victory of Christ over
sin. By faith we enter into and appropriate the strength of the victory He experienced in the flesh. In other words, He
is able and willing to live out in us the
same overcoming life that He lived as
a man on this earth. He will reproduce
in us His own sinless experience. This
is sanctification.
If Jesus came into the world with
Adams unfallen nature in order to manifest a sinless life, how could that unfallen
nature be reproduced in me? Participating
in Adams unfallen experience does not
sanctify fallen men. They are sanctified

24

Christs Human Nature

by overcoming sin in their fallen nature

through the same power Jesus used in
overcoming sin. There is no way for us to
participate in the unfallen experience of
Adam. If that is the means by which Jesus
overcame Satan, there is no way for Him
to impart it to me. But if Jesus gained the
victory over Satan in the fallen nature of
Adams descendants, then I can participate in it with Him. That kind of victory
can be superimposed upon my own life,
because it was gained in the same nature
I possess.
A sinless experience lived in some
alien, unfallen nature could not be credited to me, nor could it ever be possessed
by me. Fallen nature can never, in this life,
be restored to the state of unfallen man.
But we may receive the victory over sin
that Jesus gained in the flesh as one of us.
NINE
Two Extremes
n this connection it is interesting to
study the short-lived history of a group

Christs Human Nature

25

of Christians in Indiana who claimed to

have holy flesh. Around the year 1900 a
rather large body of conservative church
members became obsessed with the idea
that Jesus lived His sinless life in the nature of unfallen Adam.
Assuming, correctly, that His victorious experience in the flesh could be imparted to every Christian through faith,
they began to teach that fallen man could
live out the very same untainted life of sinless Adam. This fanatical view led them to
believe that they could reproduce the absolute holiness and perfection of unfallen
Adam. This is just one well-documented example of the ramifications of this
false teaching.
The other extremity to which men
are led by accepting the error of Christs
pre-fall nature is exactly the opposite of
the holy flesh theory. They simply assert that since Jesus overcame in Adams
sinless nature, we cannot possibly hope
to share His victory while still in bodies
of sinful flesh. Christ could only impart

26

Christs Human Nature

what He had to give, and since He had

no victory over sin in our fallen nature, He could not share it with us.
Therefore, it is impossible to overcome as
Christ overcame.
Thus, we can see how the beautiful, basic truth of sanctification is downgraded
and removed from the experience of righteousness by faith. Already we have seen
how the original sin error has generated
two other perversions; namely, that Jesus
had the unfallen nature of Adam, and
that sanctification cannot be imparted to
man by Jesus. In fact, most proponents of
original sin do not even believe it is possible to overcome all sin in this life. They
deny the repeated assertions of Scripture
that fallen man can actually partake of the
divine nature of Christ. Somehow they
cannot perceive and accept the heavenly
mystery, so often affirmed in the Bible,
that Jesus took mans fallen nature upon
Him and, yet, was never guilty of sin. To
them the inherited guilt of Adam is so
pervasive in human nature that it can

Christs Human Nature

27

only be overcome when translation takes

place at the coming of Christ.
TEN
Living Without Sin
s it hard for us to believe that Jesus in His
humanity could maintain an absolutely
pure, sinless mind during His 331/2 years
in this world? Is it possible for anyone in
human flesh, even under the power of
God, to reach such a point of victory over
sin? The Bible answer is clear: For though
we walk in the flesh, we do not war after
the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but mighty through God;)
Casting down imaginations, and every
high thing that exalteth itself against the
knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of
Christ (2 Corinthians 10:35).
This promise is made concerning sinners in the flesh who turn to the delivering power of the gospel. How much more
would our blessed Lord, with no acquired
propensities for sin, be able to claim His

28

Christs Human Nature

Fathers enabling strength to keep from

sinning! The Word of God assures us that
we may partake of the divine nature of
Jesus and have the mind of Christ. His
sinless experience in the flesh is a guarantee that any of us may have the same
victory if we will depend upon the Father
as He did.
This means that in overcoming sin
He had no advantage over us. He fought
the enemy in the same nature and by the
same spiritual weapons that are available
to us. If He had any advantage over other
men it was simply that His inherent human nature was never further debilitated
by personal indulgence in sin.
Can we equal the perfect pattern of
Jesus sinless life? No. All of us have degraded human nature further by giving way to the flesh. Not only have we
brought the curse of death upon ourselves
by breaking Gods law, but we have also
made ourselves more vulnerable to Satan
by cooperating with him. Jesus never responded to a single sinful stimulus, and

Christs Human Nature

29

Satan could find nothing in Him. He lived

all His life with the surrendered mind and
will of the fully sanctified. He committed
no sins to be atoned for.
But even though we cannot equal the
pattern, we should seek earnestly to reflect that holy life of Jesus as fully as possible. By the grace of God, we may put
away every known sin and be perfect in
our sphere with no consciousness of cherished wrongdoing.
Does that mean we will be boasting
about living without sin? On the contrary,
the closer we come to Christ, the more
we will sense our unworthiness. Those
who attain the standard of Christ will be
the last ever to recognize it, much less
boast of it. Is it important that God have
an obedient people at the end of time
that He can point to as a vindication of
His character? The Bible reveals that the
whole cosmic conflict between God and
evil can be traced to Satans original desire
to take Gods place and rule the universe.
It was his program of false accusation that

30

Christs Human Nature

stirred up rebellion in heaven and alienated a third of the angels. Satan misrepresented Gods character and charged the
Creator with making unreasonable and
impossible demands.
How could the devil be proven wrong?
God had to provide a demonstration that
would forever silence the adversary. It
was a long, painful demonstration that
led the mighty Creator God to step down
into a human body of fallen man and,
within the limits of that nature, to overcome everything Satan could hurl against
Him. Had He utilized any divine power
to overcome sin that was not available to
others in the flesh, Satan would have used
it to bolster his claims that no one could
keep Gods law.
At the cross, Jesus demonstrated to
the entire universe that Satan was wrong.
He had proven that it was possible, in the
flesh, to be obedient through dependence
on the Father. The final step of vindication will take place when the character
of Christ has been reproduced in that

Christs Human Nature

31

persecuted little remnant that remain faithful through the firestorm of Armageddon
and beyond. Long after Satans knee has
bowed to acknowledge the righteousness
of God, and eons after he and his followers have tasted the eternal consequences
of their sin, the 144,000 will still be bearing witness to the honor and integrity of
Gods government. As their new song of
victory and deliverance is heard by listening angels, unfallen worlds, and the
unnumbered multitude of the saints, all
will unite in an oratorio of praise, saying,
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
thanksgiving, and honour, and power,
and might, be unto our God for ever and
ever. Amen (Revelation 7:12).
It is easy to understand why that little
group who sing the song of Moses and
the Lamb will be so signally honored as
they stand nearest to Gods throne. It is
through their experience that Gods character will be vindicated at last.
In summary, we can see how the ancient error of Adams imputed guilt has led

32

Christs Human Nature

to a chain of related deceptions. The most

significant truths of salvation have been
cleverly counterfeited. The humanity of
Jesus has been denied, the imparted righteousness of Christ has been challenged,
and the possibility of victory over sin has
been ridiculed. It is only as we recognize
the basic falsehood that we can avoid the
perversions that follow. May God give
us the wisdom to stand firmly upon the
Word alone and to reject every doctrine
that is not rooted in Him.
