What does it mean that God was in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Jesus embodies the fullness of God and is the means of reconciliation between God and humanity.

The statement that 'God was in Christ' (2 Corinthians 5:19) affirms the doctrine of the incarnation, where Jesus is fully God and fully man. This mystery signifies that through Jesus, God reconciles sinners to Himself. Christ's work on the cross and His resurrection demonstrate not only His atoning sacrifice but also His role in fulfilling God's justice and mercy. Thus, understanding this truth is pivotal for grasping the essence of the Gospel and the weight of Jesus's mission.
