How do we know the doctrine of the dual nature of Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

We affirm the dual nature of Christ based on scriptural teachings and historic confessions that hold Him to be fully God and fully man.

The mystery of the dual nature of Christ—that He is both fully divine and fully human—is reinforced through Scripture and church tradition. The Council of Chalcedon affirmed this truth, stating that Jesus is 'truly God and truly man,' encompassing two natures united in one person without confusion or division. Key passages, such as John 1:14 and Acts 20:28, emphasize His divine identity and human experience, supporting the belief that for Christ to mediate effectively between God and humanity, both natures are essential. His dual nature ensures that He can sympathize with human suffering while also providing a perfect sacrifice for sin.
