This is why Peter declared this same Jesus whom ye have crucified "is BOTH Lord and Christ." (Acts 2:36)
"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." (Acts 2:36)
Indeed, Jesus Himself said, "I and My Father are One." (John 10:30)
"God manifest in the flesh." (I Timothy 3:16)
"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." (I Timothy 3:16)
The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us ... (John 1:14)
The same Holy Ghost (the Spirit of God) who created man and woman in the beginning, feeding the Israelites the manna from heaven on the old covenant side overshadowed Mary so that she could bring forth a son. The very same Holy Ghost whom Jesus (after He was taken up) "through" the Holy Ghost gave commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen. (Acts 1:2; Luke 1:35; Matthew 1:21-23)
Not God as three separate persons (or a trinity) as modern day religion proclaims but the One and Same Holy Ghost -- the Spirit of Truth -- the Comforter -- Almighty God took on sin-prone flesh so that He could save us from our sin.
"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." (Isaiah 9:6)
Jesus said, "I must go" in order for the Holy Ghost to come.
Jesus said, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14:26)
Jesus said, "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of Me ..." (John 15:26)
Jesus made His time on earth as a Son abundantly clear. After He was taken up, "ye shall see Me no more." (John 14:9)
"Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also." (John 14:9)
All the fullness of the Godhead dwelt bodily in Him. (Colossians 2:9)
"He [God] was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own and His own received Him not ..." (John 1:10-11)
In the beginning, God. (Genesis 1:1)
"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. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." (II Corinthians 5:19-20)
"Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope ..." (I Timothy 1:1)
Not which "are our hope" but that He -- singular -- is our hope.
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ ..." (Titus 2:13)

God not only declared peace and goodwill to all but He willingly became our Saviour.
Not which "are our hope" but that He -- singular -- is our hope.
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ ..." (Titus 2:13)
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour ..." (I Timothy 2:3)
"Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things ... Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ ..." (Titus 2:10-13)
We need to stop believing the religious traditions of men and begin believing the Word who loved us enough to shed His precious blood on the cross. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me."
"But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared ..." (Titus 3:4)
Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life." (John 6:47)

This is why in this current dispensation of grace, we must believe in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for our salvation. The name given to us so that we might have salvation and eternal life.
"And ye shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sin ... God with us." (Matthew 1:21-23)
Jesus did not say to believe in a trinity, or some God in three persons doctrine that has its roots in the anti-Christ church.
"Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but Me: for there is no Saviour beside Me." (Hosea 13:4)
We need to stop praying to the unknown gods of this world and recognize that when God said, "I am the Lord thy God and beside Me there is no other, He meant it. (Isaiah 43:11; Isaiah 45:1)
This is why Jesus said unto them, "I am the Bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst." (John 6:35)
This is why we are to be water baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ - so that we take on His name. So that we can be fully clothed in His righteousness, and filled with His Spirit, as the first 3,000 souls to be saved on the new testament side were on the day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:36-47)
"To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen." (Jude 1:25)
