Someone asks me this old question: Why God need to turn himself into human (Jesus) to save us?
My interpretation of the question is: why God need to use such strange way to save human being? Any practical reason? My answer is to show HIS Love. And in the old time people need to kill animal to erase their sin. So Jesus do it all using his holy blood. But my answer isn't too convincing I guess ...
But now I have question too. In the old testimony, why need to kill animal to erase our sin? It is not their fault. And they have animal right too.

> through the sacrifice of life and through blood that sins can be washed out
This makes senses. Solve my question. Thanks.
> original purpose of 被造物
I only know mankind are being created to glorify GOD, based on "The purpose driven Life". How about another animal? To provide us food!? I guess ...
We know the animal nor the blood itself actually cleansed the sinners in OT. It's the faith and the act of faith of these sinners who believed and followed what God said specifically (God told them in OT only one way to be cleansed, and that's through sacrifice). They believed the sacrifice of animal would take their sin away because God told them exactly so, and God honored their faithfulness to follow and forgave their sin. In NT, it is still the same. We believe with faith and that's how our relationship with God is restored. Believing and true faith is not about what makes sense to us. Many things may not make sense...the scrifice of the animal, virgin birth, resurrection...etc...we've never seen that. Faith is about beliving and then following beyond what we can see. People have spent lots of time and effort to prove scientifically what the Bible says is possible or not and argue about it. The only thing you need in order to believe is to believe.
