The dual nature of Jesus Christ

Our Lord Jesus Christ embodies two natures, divine and human, united in one person. He possesses all the qualities of God, such as infinite wisdom, power, and holiness. Despite this perfect union, the concept of the divine Son also being a human being incarnated through a virgin birth remains incomprehensible to humans. Early Christian theologians struggled to articulate this mystery and produced the Definition of Chalcedon in 451 AD, aiming to safeguard the accurate portrayal of Jesus to prevent misinterpretations.
