Kind of! We refer to the Trinity - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Three in one. For example: I am a daughter, I am a mother and I am a wife. Three in one. In no way am I comparing myself, but it's easier sometimes to think of in everyday terms. God the Son (Jesus) always was, but God the Father sent Him to Earth so that we might be saved and have eternal life.
There is a phrase I heard while travelling: "Same, but Different"
This might explain the seemingly paradoxical relationship of the trinity or Godhead. Exactly how much the same are they and exactly how different are they? We don't know, we're only humans with limited capacity to comprehend this and no Earthly experience with this relationship. We only know what God's word says...

Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Isaiah 9:6

"...the Father is in me, and I in him."
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
1 John 5:20
