JESUS IS LORD

The Holy Bible teaches that there is only one God. This God Jesus Christ reveals to all mankind as a "loving Father." "For God so loves the world that He gave His only Son. that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son unto the world not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be save" (John 3:16-17).

Jesus Christ is the Incarnate God - God becoming flesh in man. This is an offense and a stumbling block to the Jews and the Muslims as well as to the secular man. How can an infinite God be incarnate in the flesh of sinful man or simply stated how can a Creator dwell in the object of his creations? It is unimaginable indeed. It is illogical for example for a carpenter to indwell a chair he has made. For lack of a word to exactly define how the Creator God became incarnate in man, let us just use the word "mystery". The mystery however maybe explained on how man was created.
The Holy Bible tells us that God created man in His own image and likeness out of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. Out of the millions of His creations, it was only man that God formed with His own fingers and then breathed life into him. The mystery in man is that he is both flesh and spirit - living soul. I venture to say that man is the only kin or relative of God. Jesus calls him "our Father".

The whole creation of the universes was for man. It pleases God to walk with man in
the Garden. But one among God's creation whom He appointed as worship leader was jealous of man and sought to embarrass God by destroying man. Lucifer, the covering cherub of God's throne, sought to overthrow God and make himself the Lord. As Lucifer began to set his plan in operation, God cast him out of His Presence. So we find him in the Garden and recruited man to join him in his rebellion against God.

Man in his rebellion against God - this is called the Fall" - lost the glory of God
and found himself naked. Losing the glory of God which was his covering, man sought to cover himself, his nakedness, by the works of his hands. God expelled man from the Garden, but not before He made a covering of animals skin to hide his nakedness.
Man lost his innocence, privileges, and eternal life. He lived under the curse of death and he has to eat by the sweat of his labor.

Sin, therefor, is disobedience to God. Sin separates man from God. Death,sicknesses, diseases follow.But God so loved the world. He craves the fellowship of man. But sin comes as a wedge which prevents such a fellowship between the Holy God and sinful man.What must God do to restore the fellowship with man.

Do not fail to come again and visit my blog to learn more what God did to restore man to Himself. 'Til then, the LORD be with you.

The Holy Bible indeed teaches that there is only one God.
So, who did Jesus, our Lord & Master,
identify as the only one God?

(John 17:1) These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, ...
(John 17:3) And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Jesus Christ our Teacher identified the Father as the only true GOD & the only GOD
[John 5.44]

Paul concurs:
(1 Cor 8:4) ... that there is none other God but one.
(1 Cor 8:6) But to us there is but one God, the Father, ...

GOD the Father is the only GOD & GOD is also the GOD & Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[Rom 15.6, 2 Cor 11.31, Eph 1.3,17; Col 1.3, 1 Pet 1.3]

Then who is the Lord Jesus?
The Lord Jesus Christ
is the only GOD's Son,
the Son of the Father.
[2 John 3]

Therefore, on the subject of
"Jesus Christ is the Incarnate God - God becoming flesh in man;"
as you put it,
I recommend this video:
The Human Jesus

Take a couple of hours to watch it; and prayerfully it will aid you in your quest for truth.
