How is Christ both God and man?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ is both God and man through the mystery of the hypostatic union, where His divine and human natures coexist in one person.

The hypostatic union describes the theological truth that Jesus Christ is both fully divine and fully human. As stated in Philippians 2:7, He took on the form of a servant, made in human likeness, while also maintaining His divine essence. This mystery is acknowledged without controversy, highlighting that He is fully God, as He is established in John 1:1, and fully man, experiencing our human condition. This unique union assures believers that Christ can empathize with our struggles while also providing the perfect solution to sin and death through His divine nature.
