God's attributes became our human virtues because of the humanity of the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus is both God and Man.

The Lord's humiliation involved seven steps: (1) emptying Himself; (2) taking the form of a slave; (3) becoming in the likeness of men; (4) humbling Himself; (5) becoming obedient; (6) being obedient even unto death; and (7) being obedient unto the death of the cross.
