"Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:--- 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."  God and man are of the same image, that is God should look like us.  But God is a Spirit and we are from the dust of the earth, which is flesh.  "John 4:24 God is a Spirit:--  Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,"  Spirit and flesh are not of the same image.  At our birth, we are born of the flesh and the spiritual birth has to take place later.  Most of the people may meet death without even being born again which is born of the spirit.   "John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."  But everybody is born with a soul which is our person. This person, our soul is made in the image of the Person of God.  "Matt 12:18 --- in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, ---  Heb 10:38 --- if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."  That is, God is a person, a Soul.  We are also a person which is our soul.  You and me are made in the image of God, because of our souls.

God was made flesh, that is, he became a mere man without any power attributes of God.  "John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 14 And the Word was made flesh---."  When God became flesh, he was called the Son of Man and His name was 'Jesus'.  His disciples called him Lord in the sense that He was a 'Guru' who is a 'Dignified Teacher'.  "Matt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS."  He lived as a Perfect Man as an example to us so that we may follow his steps in our living.  "1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps."  He humbled Himself, was obedient to the Father, offered Himself as a sacrifice on the cross as the Lamb of God for the forgiveness of our sins.  "Phil 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."  He became the author of our salvation, if we obey Him.  "Heb 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;" 

At the resurrection of Jesus Christ, God made Him Lord in the heavenly sense so that every knee on earth, in hell and in heaven shall bow and confess that He is Lord.  "Phil 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  At the resurrection He was declared 'the Begotten Son of God' or in other words, God made Him 'Christ'.  "Psa 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.  Acts 13:32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, 33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee." He became 'Lord' and 'Christ'.  "Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ."  

'God the Word' is now 'the Lord Jesus Christ'.  'The Lord' refers to his lordship over earth, hell and heaven.  'Jesus' refers to the fact that He became a Man, the son of the Virgin Mary, who was glorified by God at the resurrection.  'Christ' refers to his position as the Begotten Son of God and as God who is raised to the throne of God.  He is our 'Lord Jesus Christ'.  Now He is a Spirit and He is God even though He was a Man.  By the declaration of God He posses all the Omni-Powers of God.  He is our God.
