Mary became pregnant by a direct act of God, as the Bible foretold (Isa. 7:14 Isa. 7:14: Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.; Mt. 1:23 Mt. 1:23: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel.) hundreds of years earlier. God and sin are opposites. Jesus is God, and he would never have been able to remain for nine months in the womb of a sinful person. Mary received a special grace from God which allowed her to remain without sin throughout her life.
