Why Did Jesus Live A Single Birth

Improved Essays
Greetings Dr. Hilborn;
I would guide a single woman to stay “true to her faith, first- and- foremost by, directing her attention to the ultimate one, whose life was irreproachable, though He was also single. According to scripture and scholarly theologians, God never meant for man to be alone. Collins writes, “Clearly, marriage was God’s intention for the human race. With that said, my question is, “why did Jesus live a single life?” Unless God wanted to show that greatness and fulfillment can be the end result whether you are married or single. I would encourage her to be confident and content in who she is.
