GOD THE FATHER (the creator)
The bible repeatedly speaks of God as the Father. He is not just the
Father of Christians, but the Father of the Son. And He is eternally
the Father of the Son, not just from the Virgin Birth. He was Father to
the Son from all eternity.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, He gave His one and only
Son..
We see that this was pre decided in the Godhead that the Father
would represent God in His dealings with Man, and so the name
“God” by itself sometimes refers to the Father.
Romans 8:15-16 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a
slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by
Him we cry, ―Abba, Father.‖ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit
that we are God‘s children.
GOD THE SON (the savior)
The distinctive character of the Son namely Jesus, is that He is the
savior of the world. He was sent by the Father and became the
atonement for our sins when he hung on the cross. He is also the
mediator between us and the Father.
1 Timothy 2:5 and
Hebrews 9:15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new
covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the
redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the
first covenant, those who have been called may receive the
promise of the eternal inheritance.
Jesus Himself often said that to see Him was to see God. To know
Jesus is to know God. He is the greatest of all revelations, because
Jesus is God Himself in the flesh.
John 14:9 he who has seen Me has seen the Father.
