In the course of human history many people attempt to become God. Some of them even claimed to be God and their followers treated them accordingly. Also all the founders of the great religions considered themselves as humans who became divine. Except one!

In order to provide salvation to the world God became human through Jesus Christ. The bible says: “When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn’t claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death and the worst kind of death at that a crucifixion (Philippians 2:6-8).”

No other belief tells us about a God who loved the world so much that He humbled himself and became man in order to save it. Many attempted to become God but only one God became human.
