What does it mean that Christ is the visible God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ being the visible God means He perfectly reveals the nature of God to us, as stated in John 1:14 where it says, 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.'

The assertion that Christ is the visible God is deeply rooted in the doctrine of the Incarnation. John 1:14 affirms this by stating, 'And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth).' This encapsulates the theological truth that in Christ, we see God's character and essence made manifest. Christ reveals qualities of God such as holiness, love, and justice in a relatable way, bridging the divine-human gap. As such, understanding Christ as the visible manifestation of God is essential for comprehending His redemptive work and His role as mediator between God and sinners.
