There is one true God, but He has 3 expressions of Himself : God the father, invisible ; God the Son, the Word made flesh ; and God the Holy Spirit, moving and dealing with man. ( See Matthew 28:19, Mark 12:29, Luke 3:22, John 1:14-18, I Corinthians 2:9,10, I John 5:7 )
Jesus was virgin-born. If he'd been conceived by normal human processes, the seed of sin would've been transmitted into His spirit. As He grew up he'd have required a Savior like all of the human beings. For that reason, He couldn't have a human father. God was Jesus' pa, and the holy seed planted in Mary's womb by a miraculous visitation of the Holy Spirit was without sin. )
God made Jesus Christ, who knew no sin, to become sin for us so that we could be made righteous through Him. Jesus is God humanized. He came to earth in the shape of a human to enter into our wants and feel what we feel. ( See II Corinthians 5:21 ; I Peter 2:21-23 ; Hebrews 4:15. )
God licensed His own boy's ministry by signs and wonders and miracles. For it is the signs and wonders ministry of Jesus that makes Him what He is. When John the Baptist sent messengers to Jesus, questioning His deity, Jesus instructed them to go back and tell John about the miracles they had seen Him perform. Miracles settled the issue of Christ's deity. ( See Matthew 11:2-5 ; Luke 4:14-21 ; 7:20-22 ; Acts 2:22. )
It was planned from eternity past because God knew that man, whom He created in his own image, would exercise his freedom of choice and commit sin. Therefore , man required a Redeemer. When Jesus' blood was shed on the Cross, He was making atonement for our sins. For the first time God dealt utterly with the problem of sin by giving His child to smash down the barriers between sinful man and sinless God. )
