Teachings on the 'Incarnation' are from man as the term is not in The Bible.
The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church verifies this fact:
The doctrine, which took classical shape under the influence of the controversies of the 4th-5th centuries, was formally defined at the Council of Chalcedon of 451. It was largely molded by the diversity of tradition in the schools of Antioch and Alexandria…further refinements were added in the later Patristic and Medieval periods.
However, early theologians were not far off the mark on the reasons for the Word to become the first Begotten Son of God. Mankind had to be reconciled back to their Creator whom they have sinned against. God is perfect and we are told to be perfect as well (Matthew 5:48) and only Christ could be that. Jesus became mankind's 'expiation' (to atone or make at-one with God) by being fully human from formation in the womb of a woman by God's Power of His Spirit to the cruel and painful shedding of His blood in death for all. As He was resurrected to spiritual 'Sonship' with the Father, so will all mankind who repents and follows Him.
2 Peter 1:2-4New King James Version (NKJV)2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Both the Father and Jesus ('let US make) are continually working on their new creation - son/brothers and daughters/sisters in the Family of God:
2 Corinthians 5:17New King James Version (NKJV)17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he isa new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
