Putting the record straight

 The conception of Jesus in the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit meant Jesus is divine and holy and the only begotten Son of God but does NOT mean Jesus is literally God, the one and only God. Only the Father is the One True God. That is the confusion I must correct because God the Father corrects it. God boundlessly loves Jesus His Son and Jesus lives up to that love in a way God is well pleased with and God fully acknowledges Jesus as His pleasing Son. Yet only God, God the Father, says of Himself “I am God”. Jesus has believers, God’s household, as His household, and is over them as Master and is over all creation too but that does not make Him God, it makes Jesus Lord. The Holy Spirit acknowledges that all creation operates under the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ’s name but still it is not the case that Jesus is the Only True God. The Father alone is that.
