A Baptist Catechism Question 26

I am getting A Baptist Catechism from Desiring God website. I am trying to hang in there and to learn from this too.

Question 26: How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?
Answer: Christ, the Son of God became man by taking to himself a true body and a reasonable soul. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and was born of her, yet without sin.

Scripture: Hebrews 2:14; Hebrews 4:14; Hebrews 7:26; Matthew 26:38; Luke 1:31, 35; Luke 2:52; John 1:14; John 12:27; Colossians 2:9.(I will be posting it below, so that you don't have to go to the link. All the link will be English Standard Version "ESV".)

Comment: I am typing this on a Personal Computer. I have virtually no idea how it works. That it works I am certain: I have typed hundreds of sermons on it. So it is with the "incarnation"--the "how" is (as the old theologians used to say) "ineffable". We believe it because the Scriptures teach it and because it "works" to make sense out of God’s whole redemptive plan.

14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, Hebrews 2:14 ESV

14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 ESV

26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. Hebrews 7:26 ESV

38 Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.” Matthew 26:38 ESV

31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. Luke 1:31 ESV

35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. Luke 1:35 ESV

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.
Luke 2:52 ESV

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. John 1:14 ESV

27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. John 12:27 ESV

9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, Colossians 2:9 ESV
