The diety is something that most of us have a hard time wrapping our heads around.
The Bible specifically describes God as being a Godhead, divinity or substance of the divine. (theotés)
Colossians 2:9 tells us that in Jesus Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form.
Christ was filled with or filled up with God. (plērōma)
God himself took on flesh. That means that God was incarnate in a body.
“Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. ” Hebrews 10:5
The Pharisees went builistic when Jesus told them he was the I AM. They could not grasp such a thing.
In fact this is the very reason that the Pharisees had Jesus arrested. For the “crime” of Blasphemy under the law.
John 10:33
Scriptures tell us that
God was in Christ reconciling himself to the world.
“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:19
That means that God himself was in Mary’s womb placed there by God the Holy Spirit himself. Luke 1:35
God’s body, his blood, his very nature came into the world through the vehicle of a human but God was not human in the sense that we are human.
He had flesh and blood but his flesh and blood were not contaminated by sin. Nor was God created out of the earth like Adam.
Jesus was called the second Adam because his body was created by God the Holy Spirit but he was God himself in that body.
1 Corinthians 15: 45-47
God was incarnate in flesh or dwelling in a body that was created by God the Holy Spirit.
God came to save that which was lost. He had to take on flesh in order to do that but his flesh was not the same as our flesh. His flesh was sinless.
1 Peter 1:18-20
“For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.”
While Jesus the Christ or redeemer anointed with the Holy Spirit was confined to a body he was still very much God.
In the Psalms David talks about a body being prepared for him.
Psalm 40:6
The blood of Jesus that was shed on calvary was God’s own blood. It was not human blood.
Jesus’ blood was divine. It was not from human origins. 1 Peter 1:19
The Bible says that Jesus was the exact expression of the likeness of God.
Colossians 1:15, Hebrews 1:3
Jesus told his disciples that by looking at him they could see the Father. The Holy Spirit dwelt in Jesus and did all the miracles.
John 5:19
John 14:9,10
In other words Jesus represented on earth all the Godhead fully.
Jesus was fully God incarnate in flesh. One with the Father and the Holy Spirit even when he was on the earth.
God himself took on flesh and gave his body and blood as a sacrifice for sin.
God was able by his sacrifice to reconcile humanity which had been lost back to himself. 2 Corinthians 5:19
Those who are born of God are now in him and he is in them. John 3:3, Acts 2:38
Only God himself can save you from sin. If you believe and turn to him with all your heart God will save you and reconcile you to himself through the body and blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Mark 1:15
“And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Jesus is God incarnate in the flesh.
1 Timothy 3:15
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
