God

The One and Only

God the Father holds the position at the top, the supreme commander of all. He is the mighty, the holy, the Old Testament LORD God. He is responsible for maintaining the integrity of God Himself. He has laid out the requirement of perfection to gain the honor of coming into His presence.

He also knows mankind inside and out. He knows that perfection is impossible for any person to attain, so embarked on a wonderful plan. The entire Bible is the record of the plan's implementation: a Saviour would come to redeem the human race from the sin it had chosen to serve.

The Father had quite a bit of work to do with His children the people of Israel. Leading, providing, disciplining, teaching. He still has to do the same with His children today.
