God reveals Himself in the Bible as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This revelation is relational because He desires for us to have a relationship with Him. We can read in five places where God calls Jesus His Son: Matthew 3:17, Matthew 17:5, Mark 1:11, Luke 3:22, and 2 Peter 1:17. And then in multiple places we can see others such as John the Baptist, the disciples, demons, a Roman soldier at the cross, and Jesus Himself all claim that Jesus is the Son of God. (See Mark 3:11, Mark 15:39, John 1:34, John 6:69, and John 10:36.) Jesus also said that He and the Father are one (See John 10:30.) Jesus said that to see Him was to see the Father. (See John 14:9.) Jesus is the Son of God, yet at the same time Jesus is God. Jesus was fully man. Since He was also fully God, He had to be born of a virgin to remain sinlessly perfect. Therefore, He was conceived by God the Holy Spirit. (See Matthew 1:20.) This made Him the God-man—fully God and at the same time, fully man. It was this miraculous birth that allowed Him to fulfill what the Old Testament said of Him as the Messiah and for Him to be the perfect sacrifice for sin and our Savior.
