An understanding of which concept helps in understanding the person and work of Christ?

• A. Divinity
• B. Trinity
• C. Incarnation
• D. Redemption

Answer: (B)

The Trinity provides the framework for understanding both the person of Christ and his work. Christ is the eternal Son who takes on human nature in the Incarnation, remaining truly God even as he becomes fully human. The Trinity helps us hold together his divine identity with his human life, so we see him as the God-man who reveals God to us.

In the plan of salvation, the Father sends the Son and the Spirit applies redemption. This triune cooperation explains how Christ accomplishes our reconciliation—his obedience, his atoning death, and his resurrection—through divine action that involves Father, Son, and Spirit together. Understanding the Trinity thus clarifies not only who Christ is but how his work is accomplished within the Godhead, giving a fuller picture than focusing on divinity, the event of incarnation alone, or redemption in isolation.
