Jesus was fully human in flesh and blood as John says in 1 Jn. 4:2 that true believers confess that the Son of God came in the flesh. And John also says in Jn. 1:1 that Jesus is the Word of God, was with God in creating the world with the Father and the Spirit, and was God. He still is God, the Word, the only begotten Son of God from all eternity, but since His birth of Mary, He is also fully human as well. Only one who is fully God could take upon Himself the nature of what He created in order to secure salvation for these He created from sin and death. And only one who is fully human can be the perfect sacrifice for all of the sins of humanity. It is a one for one exchange, the sinless one for sinful humanity, the second Adam (who lived a perfect life) for the first Adam (who sinned and brought sin to every human person generated through his disobedience). Jesus was the perfect, spotless, unblemished, sin-free human who was solely qualified to be an acceptable sacrifice for our sins. But He was also the perfect Divine Son of God of inestimable value to the Father who was given for us as this sacrifice. Jesus, the perfect human and most love Divine Son of the Father was the only way for mankind to be redeemed. This is the everlasting covenant made between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit before the creation of the world.
So, as Duncan cited, God is our only Savior, all salvation comes from God alone on Jesus, our Lord. There is no other God to save us but one true Godhead.
God has no beginning nor no end. He is eternal in His Being as well as His essence.
Yet, we have in the Gospels the account of Jesus' conception and birth. Jesus, the eternal Son of God, Divine as the Father and Spirit are, took onto Himself a full human nature to become a man. He was born of Mary in about 6 B.C., being both God and man in one person. Th Divine Son of God was born into this world as a human infant, being in every way human but without sin, for the Divine Son of Man (who is the Person who took on human nature) can never sin. In every action, thought, word, motive, Jesus did, He did it as the Person of the Divine Son of God who remained the Divine Son of God in His humanity.
Some divide Jesus up into a human person and another divine person, where sometimes the human person is acting and at other times the divine person is acting. But Jesus was and is only one Person but with two natures since His incarnation, with both divine and human natures that are united but not mixed together (otherwise Jesus would be less that true God and also more than truly human).
Jesus told the Jewish leaders: "before Abraham was, I am" ( Jn. 8:58). The leaders took up stones to kill Him for they knew He was claiming to be God in using the name "I am" and also in saying He was in existence before Abraham lived, which speaks to His eternality.
Heb. 4:15 speaks of Jesus being tempted in every way in His human nature, but never sinned and never possessed a sinful human nature that we all do. But He was fully human, In Heb. 5:7 we are referred back to His time in the Garden of Gethsemane where He prayed to the Father with tears and supplication and the shedding of blood tears in facing the upcoming crucifixion. He
Without contraversy GOD is Spirit and He is the beginning and the end.
as it is written in Isiah 43:11-13
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
12. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.
13. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

Repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ the son of the living God.
to continue:
Jesus was fully human in flesh and blood as John says in 1 Jn. 4:2 that true believers confess that the Son of God came in the flesh. And John also says in Jn. 1:1 that Jesus is the Word of God, was with God in creating the world with the Father and the Spirit, and was God.

I hope that this is helpful.
This is what I believe to be true:
