155. What do we call the event by which the Son of God became man?

We call this the Incarnation, the great mystery that the true Son of God, who created the universe, entered His creation and became a part of it by becoming a man.

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Colossians 2:9 For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.

1 Timothy 3:16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.
