Summary/Abstract: The necessity of the confession of Christ as presented by the Holy Scripture and the Holy Fathers is necessary in order for the Church to find an answer to the problems of contemporary man, showing him his true vocation reflected in the words of the Fathers who reveal the purpose of the Incarnation of Christ, namely: the dehumanization of man, for God became man so that man could become dehumanized, the Incarnation thus becoming "the basis of our dehumanization". Of particular importance, therefore, is the way in which contemporary man understands his relationship with God who became incarnate for him, Christ hypostatizing in a "concrete existential event both the divine and the human nature".
