Savior: Repeatedly the Scriptures refer to God as Savior. At Isaiah 43:11 God even says: “Besides me there is no savior.” Since Jesus is also referred to as Savior, are God and Jesus the same? Not at all. Titus 1:3, 4 speaks of “God our Savior,” and then of both “God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.” So, both persons are saviors. Jude 25 shows the relationship, saying: “God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Italics added.) (See also Acts 13:23.) At Judges 3:9, the same Hebrew word (moh•shi′a‛, rendered “savior” or “deliverer”) that is used at Isaiah 43:11 is applied to Othniel, a judge in Israel, but that certainly did not make Othniel Jehovah, did it? A reading of Isaiah 43:1-12 shows that verse 11 means that Jehovah alone was the One who provided salvation, or deliverance, for Israel; that salvation did not come from any of the gods of the surrounding nations.

Clearly, Jehovah empowers Jesus to be humankind's savior.
(1 John 4:14) The Father has sent forth his Son as Savior of the world
(John 3:17) God sent forth his Son into the world... for the world to be saved through him.
(Acts 5:30,31) The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus... God exalted this one as Chief Agent and Savior

Jesus is God, and savior according to the Bible - take for example Jesus’ words in john 10:30, “i and the father are one.” at first glance, this might not seem to be a claim to be God. however, look at the jews’ reaction to his statement, “we are not stoning you for any of these, replied the jews, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God”. the jews understood Jesus’ statement to be a claim to be God. in the following verses, Jesus never corrects the jews by saying, “i did not claim to be God.” that indicates Jesus was truly saying he was God.
i could go on with other references but the most important reason that Jesus has to be God is that if he isn't God, his death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the whole world. only God could pay such an infinite penalty. only God could take on the sins of the world

The Trinity...The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Genesis, Chapter One, you will see that the Spirit of God, "hovered" over the waters!" Several other references about Christ are mentioned as well! Such is the case in the Book of Daniel and so on.
Therefore, you can only conclude that they are three in one!

Enoch, Elijah, and Jesus knew the answer to your question. It is the Spirit of truth a.k.a. Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. People overlook and underestimat Her. They will be sorry, big mistake.
