According to the apostle Paul, the “Son” is defined as that which was “made of a woman.” In the book of Galatians, we read:

“But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” (Galatians 4:4-7) 

God’s Son was “made of a woman” according the Bible. The word “made” in the Geek is ginomai, which means, “to come into existence.” Of course, the Son “came into existence” in the womb of Mary. This child was the Son of God or Son of Man—God incarnate in human flesh.

Paul also wrote that we are a “heir of God through Christ,” we can understand that through the sacrifice of the Son of Man--God incarnate--we can ascend into God's immutable presence.

This human being who is God incarnate is the mediator of heaven, who sends the Holy Spirit into the world. It is through this man "made of a woman" that we can receive the presence of God into our lives.
