"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." John 1:14 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." Romans 1:20-25
Jesus was God's excellent Glory and the Holy Spirit manifested in the flesh. Glory can be defined (from the Latin gloria, "fame, renown") or is used to describe the manifestation of God's presence as perceived by humans. It can seen as a reason for worshipful praise, honor, and thanksgiving; as giving glory to God. Synonyms: praise, honor, or distinction extended by common consent; renown.
The things that we suffer in this life can gain or grant us a weighter relationship with our creator and maker. Jesus, is not a third person in a Godhead; as that definition was created by Constantine and Catholics (325/381 AD at manmade councils) and is extra biblical, and thus non-binding, even a tradition of corrupt men. Of whom Jesus warned us not to be deceived by (Matthew 24:5) or accept anything above God's word (Matthew 4:4), and not to serve the traditions that take away from God's glory and word (Mark 7:13).
Paul told us this in the book of Colossians. "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross."
Gnosticism fail to represents Christ properly, even as the trinity fails to explain God who is one, as we find in Jesus is the fullness of the godhead. He's not a third part of God, but God who was not both fully man and yet filled with God's Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18-21). Jesus was foretold to be god with us, Emmanuel Isa 7:14). we find that God became man as in 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." Jesus is the mighty God, who was received up into glory as the everlasting Father of all creation, and is revealed to His sons and daughters as the Wonderful Counselor or Holy Ghost (John 14:26). His own disciples want to see God, and Jesus plain said He that saw Him, saw God by the Holy Spirit in Him. (Jo 14:1-6) It is a mystery, (1 Tim. 3:16) but it can be answered through God (James 1:6-8) to understand the truth (John 8:32; 14:6). All things return to it's source. God deposited His seed of glory, and He will lead you home even as He made the way through the body of Christ.
The Holy Ghost shall witness to you and then teach and also guide you in all things; even as you submit yourself to Him and His word. Which cannot deny this great glorious truth of the one true God. God is one without equals. Jesus was God enfleshed. It was God's spirit poured into a man who was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin. Yet God the Father was still in the heavens, as even the heavens of heavens cannot contain the fullness of His Holy Spirit.
