Our salvation depends on Jesus being fully God. If Jesus is just a man like any other, His death has no power or ability to save. However, if Paul is correct that the fullness of God is in Jesus then He has the power to save you. It is because salvation was beyond the ability of any mere man. It took God becoming man. It was Jesus putting on flesh so that He could take our place. This is what Jesus did in our salvation. Jesus humbled Himself , but did not give up being God when He took on flesh. He is fully man and fully God. This is a critical doctrine for your salvation.
