The incarnation simply means God came to be a man. He was fully man while remaining fully God. That way He could identify with our plight in life.

Shortly after the Reformation began, in the first few years after Martin Luther posted the Ninety-Five Theses on the church door at Wittenburg, he issued some short booklets on a variety of subjects. One of the most provocative was titled The Babylonian Captivity of the Church.

One of the foundational qualities of the Bible is its clarity (sometimes called perspicuity). That means Scripture's main teachings are plain enough to be understood without the need of special expertise or church-sanctioned interpretations.

It is about integrating our prayer and Scripture life for greater spiritual stimulation that leads to greater understanding of our Lord and then greater application of His precepts. As we read God's Word we can and should be praying to our Lord, too.

Edited From Institutes of the Christian Religion
From the previous part of the work we clearly see how completely destitute man is of all good, how devoid of every means of procuring his own salvation.
