Faith Q&A › My Faith

How can the Holy God unite to human nature, which is inferior?

The answer

The Incarnation does not mean that God transformed into a human being, but rather that God condescended and united to all that pertains to man. At the same time, He remains the God Who is capable of all things. This is precisely like the sun, which remains the same, with its light and energy, even though its rays shine upon places filled with rubbish, with all that is therein from rot and germs.

God the Pantocrator Himself governs all things, but is not affected by anything. He cannot be tainted, but rather sanctifies what is impure.
