If you want to know more about Father God, you must read the Book of John. Every chapter contains a unique revelation of Father God. Sometimes when we read this book, we see the Father God living and speaking directly through Jesus. This book portrays Jesus as the visible image of Father God. Maybe Apostle John saw Father God in Jesus, so that in everything he associated Jesus with Father God.

From the opening verse (John 1:1) itself, he talks about Father God. In the beginning of creation, the word was with God. The word was Jesus, and God was Father God. He began to describe Jesus' association with Father God and their relationship with one another.

In the beginning of creation, Jesus was with Father God, and they were one. Father God and Jesus were inseparable. How did John write such a stunning and powerful verse? Did he have a vision or a dream? Did he travel back in time to see Jesus and Father God at the beginning of creation? We are not sure of the answer. But He viewed things from the perspective of eternity past, when Jesus and Father God lived together. From that perspective, he wrote this book, bringing God's duality(Father and Jesus are living together and can never be separated) into every verse. Every verse mentions and describes about Jesus and Father God. He did not see God as a single being, but as a Triune God. He brought back the understanding about the Trinity that was lost during Adam’s fall.

He also clearly identified each member of Trinity and their responsibilities. He was also the first human in the entire universe (John 1:1) to see two of the three members of the Trinity in the same time frame or at the same time (or instant).

All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John 1:3

All things were made through Jesus and there was nothing made in creation without Jesus. Everything in existence was made through Jesus. Without Jesus, there was no creation at all, and it was a lump of dark matter (entirely blank and completely void) . All visible and invisible things were created by Jesus. Jesus created everything, including planets, universes, and our families. Jesus created every object in the universe. There is no object present in the entire universe which Jesus had not made. Father created the entire universe through Jesus. Father God spoke the word, and Jesus created what was spoken by Father God. They lived in complete divine harmony and were inseparable.

Father God's working visible hand is Jesus, and Jesus is all that the Father has. Father God entrusted the universe to Jesus, and Jesus always chose father's will over his own. Jesus is the well pleased son of Father God. The book of John talks about numerous instances where Jesus talks and describes about the Father God.

Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. John 5:19-20

All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. John 16:15

I and My Father are one. John 10:30

Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. John 14:23

John saw Father God in Jesus. There are so many secrets about Father God hidden in this book. On his first meeting with Jesus, Nathaniel discovered that Jesus was the Messiah. How did Nathaniel discover such a secret that even John the Baptist couldn't find out? It was because of what he did under the fig tree. He was having a quiet time with Father God under the fig tree. When Jesus said, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you ”, Nathaniel realised Jesus was the Messiah. I saw you under the fig tree meant - Jesus saw Nathaniel under the fig tree having a quiet time with Father God. When Jesus revealed the secret of the fig tree, which only Nathaniel and Father God knew, Nathaniel realised that Jesus was the Messiah.

In Mark 16:15-17 - “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.”
