Rom.8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh.

God's Law was perfect and righteous, but when it was applied to our fallen sinful flesh it served to expose us as law breakers and sinners. The Law despite what many Christian's and Jews believe did not strengthen the flesh into not being a sinner, no!

And because of this, God sent His only begotten Son into our world as flesh, it was his flesh that perfected the Law, it was Christ Jesus that took our place and completed the Law. Christ Jesus was the only flesh ever born on earth of God that had the power of not sinning in his flesh. Although Christ Jesus carried the sins of others they were not his sins, and that is the reason Paul's says he was made into the “likeness of sinful flesh”, but he was not sinful flesh, but why?

Simply put, the reward of living sinlessly under the Old Law was eternal life, the eternal life that Adam and Eve sin against. Christ Jesus was rewarded with eternal life for his faithfulness under the Old Law proving he was sinless in his flesh according to God's judgment by His own righteous Law. If this were not true, God would have shown favoritism perverting His judgment, which is impossible for God to do.

Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Job 37:23 We can't reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

Proverbs 17:23 A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.

But how did Christ Jesus condemn sin in the flesh, by putting it to death in his own faithful death, what does this mean? It means by Christ Jesus sinless life, he completed the Old Law, killing its power over sin judgment against the flesh, that is, by his own faithful flesh. Thus, God now gives the gift of Christ Jesus righteousness too us as body members of Christ. In his righteousness our own sin of flesh are dead because the power of the Old Law cannot judge them. Thus, our sins are put to death in Christ Jesus. And this is why Jesus is called God's love toward us, because of Jesus, we are without God's judgment by His righteous law, so Christ is our undeserved kindness, or as unmerited kindness show us in God's love

Romans 6:4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
