The incarnation of God's son is for the salvation of human race, the restoration of human nature that is damaged by sins, and the beatific vision of uniting this restored human race with God in love. In order to save the world, the savior has to be a godly man, that is, a hypostatic union. As a god, he has the power to restore human nature, restore the "original justice," presents the supreme example of love through his self-sacrifice and draws people toward him through his love. As a man, he meets the demands of justice, compensates for the sins of human race, and represents men's ability to restore their human nature and receive grace again. Therefore, the hypostatic union of Christ is significant in terms of salvation: about how human race would be saved, be blessed with eternal life and share God's blessings. By the seventh century, the defense of the hypostatic union of Christ was established in several important general councils. Applying Aristotle's hylomorphism, Thomas Aquinas rebuts the heresy that is infringing upon the hypostatic union and makes even more insightful understanding and explanation about the miracle of God's incarnation
