The Definition of the word Incarnation

Incarnation

That act of grace whereby Christ took our human nature into "union with his Divine Person, became man. Christ is both God and" "man. Human attributes and actions are predicated of him, and he" of whom they are predicated is God. A Divine Person was united to a human nature (Acts 20:28; Rom. 8:32; 1 Cor. 2:8; Heb. "2:11-14; 1 Tim. 3:16; Gal. 4:4, etc.). The union is" "hypostatical, i.e., is personal; the two natures are not mixed" "or confounded, and it is perpetual."
