What does the Bible say about the dual nature of Christ?
Answered in 4 sources
The Bible teaches that Christ possesses both a divine and human nature, perfectly united in His person.
In Philippians 2:6-7, it is stated that Christ, who is in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, but instead took on the form of a servant and was made in human likeness. This highlights the profound mystery of the incarnation, where the divine nature of Christ, co-equal with the Father, united with a perfect human body and soul, both without sin. This union is essential for our redemption, as only a sinless Savior could serve as the Lamb of God, without spot or blemish. The complexity of this mystery resembles our own existence; just as we cannot entirely comprehend how our soul and body work in harmony, we must accept by faith the wondrous truth that Christ's two natures coexist in one person.
