Matthew 1:23 (a) Behold, the virgin will (b) conceive and give birth to a son, and they shall name him Immanuel," which translated means, "God with us."

There will be no end to the increase of his government, or of peace on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore. The Zeal of the LORD of armies will accomplish this.

I agree I the divinity of Christ. But the references to Jesus being tempted do not fit with God can't be tempted since Jesus was.
But with that said.
We were given the same ensure of faith, grace, HS, of Christ. We were made the righteousness of God. We are made in God's image, we are joint heirs with Christ. Jesus went to make us mansions in heaven and he states he will come back to bring us to him.

Then add to that: all fathers want their children to have what they have and more.
Remember the parable if the seed. God wants us all to be a blessing so that we bless others. He multiples us so that we multiply others.
You Christian have divinity. God will give us exceedingly and abundantly above what we ask.
We must stop limiting God in our lives

"For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted(G3985), he is able to succour them that are tempted." (Heb 2:18 KJV)

"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted(G3985) like as we are, yet without sin." (Heb 4:15 KJV)

Strong's Greek Dictionary for G3985 gives as the meaning, "to test".

1828 Webster's Dictionary - "TEMPT'ED, pp. Enticed to evil; provoked; tried." and "TEST'ED, pp. Tried or approved by a test."

The NRSV is in agreement with the KJV on the translation being "tested".

"Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested." (Heb 2:18 NRSV)

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin." (Heb 4:15 NRSV)

Jesus was impeccable, not capable of sin, for he had no sin nature by which a temptation could take hold. In addition, as God he could not be tempted -

"Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:" (Jas 1:13 KJV)
"No one, when tempted, should say, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one." (Jas 1:13 NRSV)
