Why I Need the Virgin Birth

"Born of the virgin Mary," so goes many an ancient creed. Modern people can sometimes snicker at the idea, but God thought it important enough to make it a point of emphasis in the Christmas story (See Matthew 1:18-25). Why is Jesus' birth from the womb of a virgin so important?

If Jesus is just the son of some Galilean lothario who had an affair with Mary and got her pregnant and then disappeared off the scene; if Jesus is just the son of a purely human being then I cannot trust him to forgive my sin and get me through death. I need someone to get me through death, take me to heaven, and cause me to be accepted before God. So far, no individual born of a non-virgin has been able to do any of that. If Jesus is the son of a Galilean lothario, then I can’t trust him to get me through death. That’s why I need the virgin birth. I need someone who is fully man and fully God if I'm going to enter heaven one day standing blamelessly before God. No virgin birth, no eternal life.
