Summary/Abstract: The Epistles of the Holy Apostle Paul represent a treasure in which the Christological doctrine is expressed in the most chosen terms. Among these epistles, the epistle to the Romans and Hebrews stands out, these being the ones that present the deification of human nature in the person of Christ the Savior through the sacrifice and resurrection of the incarnate Son of God "in the fullness of time" (Galatians 4:4). The doctrine of these epistles emphasizes that Christ the Savior is the Son of God, Who, out of love for humanity, becomes our brother by assuming human nature and becomes the supreme sacrifice offered to God for reconciliation between the Uncreated and the created.
