While the New Testament regularly speaks of each divine person in distinct ways (the trinity), not one of them can be fully understood without the others. Their identities constitute one another. Divine oneness is forged by their relations to each other. The creeds eventually com to express this by describing the Father as unbegotten, the Son as begotten of the Father, and the Spirit as proceeding from the Father and Son.

This short text backs a load of punch in the divinity of Christ. The trinity becomes the focus point as it should to this claim The identity of each person of the trinity expresses itself in the other. The text with scripture in both testaments reflects the work of the trinity. Do you read the scriptures with the trinity in mind? Do you worship with the trinity in mind? This text does not add anything new to the scriptures but it reveals what is already there. Jesus is truly God.

The six major ways are as follows:

The pre-existence of Jesus
Christ is the fully the divine "Son"
Old Testament applies that Jesus is the awaited Messiah
Describing early worship offered to Jesus
The relation of the son to the Father and the Holy Spirit
Describing Jesus as God.

We may know in our head that Jesus is God but it is just important to know why and the ramifications of the trinity. Highly recommend.
