Abstract
Always Holy Fathers have warned on soteriological aspect in the Incarnation of Jesus Christ along the Christology and anthropology. The first human sin caused separation of man from the God. New Adam gave opportunity to restore unity in his incarnation. Beginning the unity with God is named as beginning of the salvation for the Holy Fathers. Athanasius of Alexandria says incarnation of Logos is the beginning of the implementation of this recovery. Also emphasize the fullness of the adoption of human nature is confirmation of this renewed unity.
