Jesus the Christ was the only begotten child of the Holy Spirit of God. The scriptures state that God Himself was manifest in the flesh as a Son which is why we have an opportunity to experience the salvation of our Lord God and Saviour. God in the manifestation of Jesus (God with us) had a plan for all of His creation -- including you and I. Indeed, the promise is to us, our offspring and to those who are afar off. This is why it is important to understand that in Jesus did all the fullness of the Godhead dwell bodily.
We read in the Bible that Jesus said to Philip, "If you have seen Me, then you have seen the Father." Why? Because "I and my Father are one. He that has seen Me has seen the Father."
Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit - the Holy Spirit providing the new blood line that is in the Christ. God Himself as a Son seeded us. For it is written, "We are the seed of Jesus the Christ." The seed of Jesus the Christ is the Word of God. For we have been born again not of corruptible seed but rather by the incorruptible Seed which is the Word of God.
Jesus being the very same Word and wisdom that indwelt God. "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one." (I John 5:7) Yes, one and the same. Jesus the Word coming forth from the innermost being of God, becoming for our sake God manifest in the flesh as a Son. God was manifest in visible form like unto Adam‘s sin prone race, appearing in such humiliated form to destroy the evil works and destruction of the devil. To pay the price of our salvation once and for all.
In fact, there was no other way. This is why our Lord God and Saviour Jesus purposely came in this condescended form so that we might have life eternal. Jesus did not descend into our midst to condemn us. Rather, Jesus came that we might have an opportunity to be brought out from the bondage of the law of sin and death. Into His freedom. The law of liberty that only Jesus could proclaim for His people.
The same God who was indwelling the man Jesus the Christ who desired from the beginning of time to reconcile fallen man to Himself. As many as received Jesus so shall they receive life. This is God's promise to one and all. For God SO Loved the World that He would give His only begotten Son so that whosoever believeth in Him would not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Stand in the offering plate.
