Catechism: Question 22
Q: How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?
A: Christ, the Son of God, became man, by taking to Himself a true body, and a reasonable soul, being conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and born of her, yet without sin. Hebrews 2:14,16; 10:5; Matthew 26:38; Luke 1:27,31,35,42; Galatians 4:4; Hebrews 4:15; 7:26.
