God the Son (Jesus) is fully, completely God. God the Father
is fully, completely God. And God the Holy Spirit is fully, completely God. Yet
there is only one God. With our limited human worldly experience, it's tough to
understand the Trinity. But from the beginning we see God this way in
Scripture. Notice the plural pronouns "us" and "our" in
Genesis 1:26. Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our
likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air,
over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move
along the ground."
Here are some Scripture that shows God is One, in Trinity:
"Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is
one!" (Deut. 6:4)
"I am the LORD, and there is no other; Besides Me there
is no God." (Isa. 45:5)
“There is no God but one.” (1Cor. 8:4)
And after being baptized, Jesus went up immediately from the
water; and behold, the heavens were opened, 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 am well-pleased."
(Matt. 3:16-17)
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
(Matt. 28:19)
Jesus said: "I and the Father are one." (John
10:30)
"He who has seen Me has seen the Father." (John
14:9)
"He who beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me."
(John 12:45)
If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not
belong to Him. (Rom. 8:9)
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as
your wife; for that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy
Spirit." (Matt. 1:20)
And the angel answered and said to her, "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."
(Luke 1:35)
Jesus speaking to His disciples "And I will ask the
Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold
Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in
you." ... "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father
will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our abode with him."
(John 14:16-17, 23)
