Summary/Abstract: The fundamental outlook for the concept of faith is determined by the truth about Christ – the Son of God who became a man. Faith is always a reference to the person of Christ and to His work of salvation. For Christians, Jesus Christ is the Revealer who reveals man to himself and shows him he meaning of his life. The figure of Jesus Christ makes it possible for the believers of all times to continue examining His infinite existential and moral depth. Therefore, the aim of this publication is to raise awareness of the need to indicate the consequences which induce the figure of Christ and His work of salvation in men. The point is the reference of the Christological reflection to our everyday life in attempt to answer the question of who Jesus Christ is to our faith. The following study is based on the encyclical Lumen fidei by the Pope Francis.
