The answer
Precisely, for as we saw, it is the only solution for the redemption of man and his delivery from the consequences of the Fall of Adam, his forefather. God takes the form of man, so that the traits of the Redeemer, which were discussed above, may be fulfilled in Him.
The Incarnation is an event for the fulfillment of redemption, for the manifestation of God-“No man hath seen God at any time; the Only Begotten Son, Which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him” (John 1:18)-and so that He may grant us a better life.
In other words:
The Incarnation is the means by which God may unite to “fallen” man, in order for the life of God to course in man, thus renewing his fallen nature.
