At the very heart of the Christian faith we find the doctrine of the incarnation–Jesus Christ, the second person of the Holy Trinity, and the eternal son of God, took to himself a true human nature in the womb of the virgin for the purpose of saving us from our sins.

The incarnation of Jesus marks Christianity off as a thoroughly supernatural religion, grounded in a specific truth claim–i.e., God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:18). The incarnation aims not for the moral improvement, enlightenment, or personal benefit for the followers of Jesus, but accomplishes the salvation of all those sinners whom God has chosen to save in Jesus Christ. Jesus is not merely our example, but primarily our Savior.
