"LET this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus; who, being in the orm of God, thought it not robbery ["a thing to be seized upon and held fast"] to be equal with God; but emptied himself, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Phil. 2:5-7.
Christ was like God in the sense of being of the nature, in very 
substance, of God.
He was made in the likeness of men, in the sense of being like men, in the nature and very substance of men.
Christ was God.
He became man.
And when He became man, He was man as really as He was God.
--He became man in order that He might redeem man.
--He came to where man is, to bring man to where He was.
--And in order to redeem man from what man is, He was made what man is.
Man is flesh. Gen. 6:3; John 3:6. "And the Word was made flesh." John 1:14; Heb. 2:14.
Man is under the law. Rom. 3:19. Christ was "made under the law." Gal. 4:4.
Man is under the curse. Gal. 3:10; Zech. 5:1-4. "Christ was made a curse." Gal. 3:13."
