My Note: God, a spirit being, came into the world in the person of Jesus to dwell with us, His created children. Ref. Scripture Matthew 1:23, John 1:10, John 1:14
God, a spirit being, in the beginning, created us, also as spirit beings. Later we, according to His plan, are, in our turn, born in the flesh and He as Jesus was also born in the flesh and dwelt among us for a time.
Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
John 1:10 He was in the
world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own,
and his own received him not
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Complete text: Matthew 1:18
¶Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother
Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with
child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just
man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her
away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph,
thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which
is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and
thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their
sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child,
and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which
being interpreted is, God with us.
John 1:1 ¶In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without
him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the
light of men.
5 ¶And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose
name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear
witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to
bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth
every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received
him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them
gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father,) full of grace and truth.
"Emmanuel" According to Hebrew usage represents a title as in "God with us."
Yes, Jesus is God, a all powerful spirit being, who came to dwell with us for a while, born in the flesh like we human beings in order to provide us a path to righteousness and eternal life.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
