Episode notes
Reasons for Incarnation
- The Church offers four reasons why the Word became flesh.
- These include salvation, knowing God's love, modeling holiness, and partaking in divine nature.
Incarnation Definition
- The Incarnation refers to the Son of God assuming human nature for our salvation.
- "Carne" means meat/flesh, so Incarnation is the "infleshmen" of God.
Personal and Communal Incarnation
- God became flesh for all people, past, present, and future.
- It's both a communal and personal act of love and salvation.
