look at John 17 “that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you”
or at Matthew 1 "All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” "
additionally, You can look at the Creed, which says in part
“We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
one in being with the Father.”
emphasis mine
Begotten, as opposed to made, has the connotations of being of the same kind. As humans, we beget children, we make robots.
God from God-again emphasizing that the Father and the Son are of the same being
One in Being-more accurately, and this change is being made, consubstantial with-of the same substance.
The Father and the Son (and the Holy Spirit) are of the same substance, there is only One God

6 Who** being** in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.

The Father and the Son are one in essence. The Two distinct Persons subsist in the one undivided essence of the Godhead.

John chaper 1
The whole chapter proves this beautifully - I’m only posting bits.
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent,[c] nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. 14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[d] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
49Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.”
50Jesus said, “You believe[k] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that.” 51He then added, “I tell you[l] the truth, you[m] shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
