If the virgin birth took place, what would be God’s purpose for Jesus being born in this manner?
-
God wanted a Jesus to be born of a woman to show that Jesus was like us. We do not know the reasons why He performs some miracles and not others. He is all powerful. His purpose is usually revealed later.
-
Jesus was God come down in human form. This is a miraculous birth, and that in itself shows the power of God.
-
First, it had been prophesied that this would happen and since God is not a liar it had to be.
Second, to show the world for generations to come that by sending his son that he made for this purpose which was to save us from our sins, that HE is still the Great I AM. -
God chose the virgin birth to show He alone is GOD. He always takes weakness or impossibility and shows HIS ability and power through them. If Jesus had been conceived in the natural way, He would be no different than us in our sin-cursed bodies. God was showing Scripture fulfilled, promises kept, and His power revealed through the virgin birth.

So that no one could argue or deny that Jesus is the Son of God since this would be an impossible feat without God making it so.
