What does it mean for Jesus to be God manifest in the flesh?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Jesus is fully God and fully man, coming to earth to reveal God's nature and to redeem humanity.

The phrase 'God manifest in the flesh' emphasizes that in Jesus, the eternal God took on human form. This mystery is vital for understanding how Christ can mediate between God and man. Without this union of divine and human natures, Jesus would not have the authority to bear the sins of humanity or offer Himself as a perfect sacrifice. He was born of a virgin, fulfilling prophecies and yet remaining without sin to effectively intercede for humanity. This doctrine lays the foundation for Christ’s identity, His work, and the believer's reliance on Him for salvation.
