God the Father

It is important to begin by recognizing that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are each fully God and have existed together eternally in perfect love and unity. God the Father is the first person of the Trinity. In the beginning, He spoke all things into existence through the Son, the living Word of God. In God's plan of redemption, the Father sent both the Son and the Holy Spirit. In doing so, He sent His Son to take on flesh in order to overcome sin and death.
