Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him. 1 Peter 3:21-22 (NASB) The words “right hand” are used many more times in reference to the Lord or God in other expressions (Exodus 15:6; Deuteronomy 33:2; Psalm 20:6; 44:3; 45:4; 110:1, 5).

The title Son of God means Jesus is God. Jesus, Himself, makes this clear when He responds to some angry Jews. These Jews had accused Jesus of claiming to be God. The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.” John 10:33 (NASB) How did Jesus respond?
Spirit of God. The phrase “the Spirit of God” refers to the Holy Spirit. He is part of the Trinity and is our God. The Holy Spirit first appears in Genesis 1:2 at the creation of the earth.
