The doctrine of God in Christ

How did did this man become the son of God?
(Luke 1:35)speaking to Mary, the angel said:
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy offspring shall be called the Son of God."

At Christ's baptism:
The Spirit of God came from heaven in the form of a Dove, and then came upon Christ, taking on the form of a man, Jesus Christ. And it was then, God, in Christ, reconciled the world to himself

Consider this scripture:
Matthew 3:16
"And Jesus, having been baptized, went up straightway from the water, and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him" and behold, a voice out of the heavens saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found
my delight."

God glorified his Son

Please consider a few scriptures:

(John 4:24)
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

Ephesians 4:32
"Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you."

Philippians 3:14
"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

2 Corinthians 5:19
"namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation."
(Romans 8:39)
"Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

(Deuteronomy 18:18-19) God speaking to Moses:"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him." ( judgment )

The Reason I disassociated myself from the Watchtower Society

 No, I did not choose the world, nor did I practice sin nor long for the freedom to practice sin, but rather, I woke up to a serious situation. After searching the scriptures I realized my religion taught error.
