God knowing that men would pervert and try to change this vital truth in verse 14 had John remove all doubt making what He meant crystal clear. "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) All the Christian cults deny that Jesus Christ is God Almighty incarnate in flesh. Most teach that God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit are simply three separate Gods. They see the concept of the Trinity as a problem and try to explain it limiting it to an earthly or human explanation. This however degrades the biblical truth of whom Jesus Christ is and strikes at the heart of salvation. If Jesus was not God, not Perfect and without sin, He could not have been an offering that could atone for sin. The sin offering as pictured in the Old and New Testaments must be completely pure and without sin. All man are sinners and none are righteous. Only God Himself is Perfect and wholly Righteous and only He could offer the sacrifice that would be acceptable to pay the sin debt of the world. Further, only Almighty God in His omnipotence could take on Himself the task of suffering for the sins of all the world. Thus Jesus the Son, was God and being God had all the attributes of God and could take on Himself the momentous task of paying for all sin. Once again we have a revelation from God, which is a truth that we cannot in our human minds and experience grasp. Jesus is God. We have nothing in our physical world that is One Being and yet Three (God Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Each member of the Godhead is a distinct Person who are One God. The Bible does not present the Trinity is three Gods, but One God, three Persons who are One God.
