is one of the three characters in which the triune God is revealed in the New Testament; the Father is the One who wills (Heb. s.), who counsels all, and who as Father directs the Son. It is the Son alone who does or can reveal Him, for He only as man knows Him. There is no evidence that God the Father, as such, can ever be seen save in the Son; on the contrary, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” This title of “Father” it is the high privilege of Christians to use.
