John 1:1 explains the relationship between Christ and the Father. Further following the resurrection, Jesus states to the Apostles that he would be sending the comforter to guide them. Also in Isiah, you will find reference to the Spirit of God residing on him (not in him, this only happened following the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth)

Trinity
a word not found in Scripture, but used to express the doctrine of the unity of God as subsisting in three distinct Persons. This word is derived from the Gr. trias, first used by Theophilus (A.D. 168-183), or from the Lat. trinitas, first used by Tertullian (A.D. 220), to express this doctrine. The propositions involved in the doctrine are these: 1. That God is one, and that there is but one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Kings 8:60; Isaiah 44:6; Mark 12:29,32; John 10:30). 2. That the Father is a distinct divine Person (hypostasis, subsistentia, persona, suppositum intellectuale), distinct from the Son and the Holy Spirit. 3. That Jesus Christ was truly God, and yet was a Person distinct from the Father and the Holy Spirit. 4. That the Holy Spirit is also a distinct divine Person.
this is from Easton's Bible Dictionary

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. They are ONE and are referred to as the HOLY TRINITY (the word Trinity means 3)

Here are a few:

1 John 5:7 ‘For there are three who bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word (Jesus, Son of God), and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one’.

Matthew 28:19 ‘Go, therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name (singular) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,’

1 Pet 2:1 elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

2 Cor 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

God bless you.

The Holy Trinity is a theological concept -

God the Father - Creator

I don't think I saw Isaiah 9:6 in any of the other posts. I apologize if I've overlooked it.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Also Isaiah 63:7-10 - http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2063:7-10;&version=31;yes

2 Cor. 13:14, The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
Eph. 4:4-7, There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. 7But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
1 Pet. 1:2, "according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in fullest measure."

Matthew 28
The Great Commission
16Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

First start with readin John and then Matthew. He said. "I am in the Father and the Father is in me." That is just for starters. There are plenty of places in the New Testement and you will see if you just read.
