THE GODHEAD

The title, the Son of God, denotes identity with deity, which means infinity of being. This reveals the Son`s status in the Godhead. The terms Father, Son in relation to God were not borrowed from their usage in parenthood of this world. Such relationships existed in the celestial before the world began.  

These terms in our human sphere relate to a senior and a minor, however in relation to the Godhead there is no such subordination. Father and Son in Godhead connote the express image of -

Personality -  

(who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His (Father`s) person, ..Heb. 1: 3)

Equal in mind, will and heart -

(Jesus said, “I and my Father are one.” John 10: 30)

In Unity, -

(Jesus said, “that they may be in me, as you, Father are in me, and I in you; John 17: 21)

Then in FUNCTION there is a hierarchy.     (Gen. 1: 1 & 2,  Col. 1: 16, Heb. 1: 1 & 2)

Divine  Procession.

               Godhead  - At the source there is the provision by the whole Godhead,

               Father - with the initial movement of the Father;

               Son - the administration of the Son;

               Holy Spirit - and the direct agency of the Holy Spirit.

All the Godhead is involved in their plans and purposes.
