‘…The purpose of the Incarnation
is to restore man in his former dignity and, therefore, make him free again.
The very difference between the man “in Christ” and the “old Adam” is that the
former is free. This freedom comes to
him not as a legal emancipation, which would leave him to an autonomous
existence, but as a share in the dignity of his Creator, a new life in which
freedom does not stand by itself, but is the consequence of full knowledge,
full vision, and full and positive experience of divine love, truth, and
beauty. “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (Jn.
8:32).’[1]
