What the Bible says about Unity of Mind
(From Forerunner Commentary)
Was the Son literally inside of the Father so that they were one? Was the Father and His body inside the Son? Of course not—They were separated by how millions of miles of distance between where the Son was on earth and where the Father was in heaven. They were in union with one another in mind, in will, in purpose.
What were They doing? They were joined together in the accomplishment of the same purpose, and now Jesus prays that we might be one with Them in the accomplishment of the same purpose, having the same will, the same mind, the same character, the same hopes, the same goals, the same end in life.

Hebrews 1:8, supported by John 1:1-2, attests that it is right to address Jesus as God. We cannot go wrong if we address Him as such because the Bible, the sacred Scriptures, obviously does. In terms of character and purpose, He is exactly and precisely the perfect image of the One called “the Father.” They are distinct Personalities while identical in purpose and character. They are not divided, nor do They compete in any way.
