God heard their groaning‚ and God remembered his covenant with Abraham‚ Isaac‚ and Jacob. God looked

Why God Became Man Related Media The Incarnation of Jesus Christ The word incarnation does not occur in the Bible. It is derived from the Latin in and caro(flesh)‚ meaning clothed in flesh‚ the act of assuming flesh.
