What does it mean that Jesus is both fully God and fully man?

Answered in 2 sources

Being fully God and fully man means Jesus is the perfect mediator, capable of atoning for our sins while understanding our humanity.

The concept of Jesus being both fully God and fully man is known as the hypostatic union. This doctrine is crucial because it establishes Jesus as the perfect mediator. As fully God, He possesses the authority to forgive sins and fulfill the divine law, and as fully man, He can empathize with our struggles and temptations. In John 1:14, it states, 'And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.' This incarnation allowed God to enter into human experience while remaining sinless. His dual nature assures us that our faith is grounded in a Savior who can genuinely connect with our plight and also provide the divine help we need for salvation.
