When witnessing for Christ you first must introduce unbelievers to Jesus. There is only one God, who exists in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The truth of the triune Godhead is a difficult concept, even for believers, but it’s clear from the Scriptures. Who is Jesus? First of all, he is fully God! All three persons of the Godhead are co-equal, co-eternal and co-divine, which means they are comprised of the same divine substance. All three persons of the Godhead have always existed in perfect fellowship and love for each other. Each person of the Godhead knows everything about each other and are always in perfect agreement. Where they differ is in function and position within the Godhead. One is not superior to the other. All three persons of the Godhead were involved in creation. According to Scripture it was Jesus who actually created us and the universe we live in. All are God!
The world God created was perfect but when Satan caused Adam to disobey God in the garden of Eden death and sin came into the world. It’s a spiritual law that the wages of sin is death. God cannot abide sin, sin has a consequence and sin cannot enter heaven. God made Adam and Eve as eternal beings that he could fellowship with. There is also a spiritual law known as imputation whereby the actions of one person is attributed to someone else. The sin of Adam has been imputed to all men who came after him. The fellowship between man and God was broken and the destiny of man then became death and separation from God in hell where man would be in torment for eternity. The many attributes of God are inclusive, they all exist together, and they can’t be infringed upon. God is love, which is why he created us in the first place. God is also a just God and because of his perfect justice our blood had to be shed because of our sin.
Because of the spiritual law of imputation the sins of all men could only be forgiven with the blood sacrifice of a man without blemish, a man without sin. Since all men after Adam were born with a sin nature nobody qualified as the perfect sacrificial lamb. God the Father, in collaboration with the other persons of the Godhead, came up with a plan of salvation for his special creation that met both his perfect justice and his eternal love for us. God Himself was the only person who could qualify as the perfect sacrifice to redeem a fallen mankind. God loved us so much he sacrificed his only begotten Son that we might have eternal life in heaven in fellowship with him.
Jesus, who had always existed as an invisible Spirit, came down from his throne and set aside his divine attributes, emptied himself, and came to earth in the flesh as a normal man. God had to be conceived in the womb, be born as a normal child and grow to manhood in order to qualify as the perfect man to redeem us from our sins. Jesus had to be fully man in order to qualify for the blood sacrifice needed to redeem us from our sins. However, Jesus was also fully God at the same time. Jesus was the only person who ever lived who was both man and God and the attributes of one did not infringe on the other.
