Our Heavenly Father manifested (robed) Himself in flesh to pay the price of death for our sins. It took a man without sin to pay this price, which only God, who is without sin, could pay. (Luke 1:35, Hebrews 2:14-15, Hebrews 9:22, Acts 20:28).
God did this so that we could be reconciled to Him, having
our sins washed away by water baptism in His name Jesus. (Colossians 1:19-23).
The flesh/body that our Heavenly Father manifested (robed)
Himself in is called the Son of God. God came in His name of salvation, which
is Jesus.
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -
Acts 4:12 KJV
All the fullness of God is within this human body.
(Colossians 2:8-9, Isaiah 9:6). At the same time, God fills the universe. (2
Chronicles 6:18).
Jesus told His disciples,
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of
truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not
leave you comfortless: I will come to you." - John 14:16-18
The Comforter is the Holy Ghost, which Jesus poured out on
the Day of Pentecost. When we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, we receive
the Spirit of Jesus in us.
"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 promises the gift of His Spirit to all those that obey
the gospel. This is what Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to
your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God
shall call." - Acts 2:38-39
