For something to become something means a change must take place. A caterpillar becomes a butterfly. A frog becomes a prince. etc. "God became a man" means God changed.
The "be" prefix in English means "to turn into" or "make into".
e.g. to befriend somebody means to turn somebody into a friend. To beget something means to produce something. To "belong" means to make someone a part of something. To "believe" something means to make something beloved or dear to you.
