How did Jesus fully embody both God and man?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus embodies both God and man by assuming human nature while remaining eternally divine, thus uniting both natures in one person.

The dual nature of Christ is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, affirming that Jesus is simultaneously fully God and fully man. The mystery lies in His incarnation; as stated in John 1:14, He was made flesh without losing His divine nature. This means He was able to live as a man, experiencing life's challenges, yet possessing the divine authority to heal, forgive, and offer salvation. The Council of Chalcedon (AD 451) articulated this doctrine, asserting that Christ’s two natures are united in one person, accomplishing God's redemptive plan while also sympathizing with our human condition.
