Look, brother, I am not denying that Jesus is God. Jesus is not more human than human any more than he is less God than God. But Jesus is God in the person of the Son who did not see equality with God a thing to be grasped. He was found in the form of man.
Our salvation depends on Jesus having lived as a man (not more human than human), having submitted his will (tuned to the flesh, the desires of the flesh, the wants and needs of the flesh) to God (to the Father). Could Jesus have sinned? Well, it was in his power, but not his will. Could we not have sinned? It was in our power, but not in our will.
Do you understand what I am saying? Jesus fulfilled the law of God not by relying on his own will but by submitting himself to the will of God (the will of the Father) through the power of God (the power of the Spirit). And this is the example Christ provides for us, Paul explains. Just as Jesus' life was in submission to the Father so also should that mind be in us. -
