God the Father (Yahweh)
The eternal Creator, Covenant LORD (Yahweh), and righteous Judge of all the earth — who provides the Lamb, answers by fire, and reigns unrivaled on Heaven's throne.
Revealed to Moses at the burning bush as 'I AM WHO I AM' (YHWH), God the Father is the sovereign Creator of heaven and earth and the covenant-keeping God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Exodus 3:14–15). Across Scripture's narrative arcs, He acts not as a distant deity but as the faithful Father who provides a ram on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:14), parts the Red Sea and the Jordan (Joshua 3), answers Elijah by fire on a water-soaked altar (1 Kings 18:38), and silences Satan's accusations in the heavenly courtroom (Zechariah 3:2).
In fullness of time, the Father sent His only Son to bear the judgment of the world (John 3:16), raising Him from the dead as the Firstfruits of a redeemed creation and sealing every believer with His own name (Revelation 14:1).
