Christology is a substantive branch of theology that deals with the multifaceted nature of Jesus Christ, examining through the scriptures various teachings regarding his personhood and redemptive work.
This study explores the complexities of Christ’s dual nature as both fully God (divine) and fully human, with emphasis on his preexistence and the significance of the incarnation—God becoming flesh. Primary themes in Christology include the sinless life of Christ, which underscores his role as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of humanity, and the implications of his death and resurrection, which are central to Christian faith and redemption.
Furthermore, christological inquiry addresses the ascension of Jesus, reflecting on its significance for the continuation of his work through the Holy Spirit and the church. Through this comprehensive investigation, Christology seeks to deepen understanding of who Christ is and what his life, death, and resurrection mean for believers.
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but [c]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philip. 2:5-11
