The Bible presents a hierarchical order in the relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ, emphasizing distinct roles and authority. Both the Father and the Son are God in the generic or family-kind sense, yet they occupy different responsibilities. The Father holds greater authority than the Son, remaining in the background by His choice for future revelation, while the Son has always interfaced with mankind. No man has literally seen God the Father, but man has seen and heard God the Son, who reveals the Father's existence, authority, and responsibilities. This distinction is clear in the scriptural order where the head of every man is Christ, and the head of Christ is God the Father, establishing a structure of authority and position within the God-kind. Both Beings inhabit eternity, uncreated, with no beginning or end, yet it is through the Son that the Father's plan and purpose are made known to humanity.

Jesus Christ, the anointed Savior and Mediator between mankind and the Absolute Deity, whom we identify as the Father, holds a unique position in the universe. Though He is of the God-kind, Christ Himself declared that He has a God, His Father, who is greater than He, both during His time in the flesh and after His resurrection as a spirit being. The Father, the Absolute Deity, is the supreme Source, while Christ is the means through whom the Father reveals Himself. They are not equal in function or responsibility; the Father is the sole Head, and Christ is subordinate and submissive to Him. Christ's own testimony affirms that His Father is supreme, the One who holds authority over Him. The Father appointed Christ as the Head of the church for its benefit, but His authority is limited by the Father, who gives the orders. Christ submitted to the Father's will, carrying out every assignment given to Him, whether to preach the gospel, be a witness of God's existence, serve as an example, or die for the sins of the world. The glory of Christ lies in His perfect submission to the Father, not in being the Head, but in His loving obedience. The Father and the Son are two distinct Personalities with clear differences in operation and rank. The Father, as the greater, blessed the Son, who is the lesser in function and responsibility. Christ directed worship to the Father, instructing us to pray to Him, though we may also pray to the Son. This relationship mirrors a principle seen in creation, where one is always greater in function, reflecting the Father's supreme authority over Christ. The unity between Them is not in oneness of substance but in Christ's complete submission to the Father's will, setting an example for us to follow in our own submission to the Father.
