The Relationship Between Christ's Person and Work

Christ's work for humanity is inseparable from His person, as it was accomplished within Him. While theology often discusses His divine person and His work separately, Christ's work was embodied in Him. His body was integral to His work, reflecting Psalm 40's declaration that a body was prepared for Him to fulfill God's will. This emphasizes that all His work, such as justification and reconciliation, cannot be separated from His person; it is only through embracing Jesus Christ Himself that believers can truly obtain these blessings.
