The following scriptures explain reasons the Son of God came to this earth to experience mortality.

Hebrews 2:7-18- Jesus Christ came to earth to suffer death of us. He was made lower than the angels so that he could taste of death for every man.

He came to earth so that we may all become sanctified through Him. He died so that the Devil could be destroyed and so that we could be delivered. He came to experience mortality and be tempted so that he could succor us when we go through those things as well.

Hebrews 4:13-16- Though without sin, he came here and was tempted of ALL things. He knows exactly what we are going through.

Alma 7:11-15- He came to take upon him all pains, temptations, afflictions, and suffering of man. He came and took upon death so that he could loose the bands of death. He took upon all infirmities so he would know how to succor us. He took upon our sins so that we might be clean through repentance and keeping our covenants.

D&C 122:8- He came to earth to descend below all things.

I know Jesus Christ is my Savior. He is the only begotten Son of the Father. He is greater than all things, but he came to this Earth to descend below all things. He suffered all manner of pain and afflictions so that he could take away our pains, illnesses, sins and all manner of our sufferings. Through him we can be whole and we can be clean. Through Him, we can live again and we can become like Him.
