Also, the importance of holding onto the belief that Christ is both the Son of God and the Son of Man.
In concluding the episode, we underline the paramount importance of recognizing 'the Christ in you' and walking in the wisdom and full knowledge of the mystery. The primary focus is on encouraging believers to be bold in not just understanding but also proclaiming and teaching the great mystery of Christ.
