in Christianity, the first of the three persons of the Trinity, who begets the Son and from whom the Holy Spirit proceeds
In Christianity, "God the Father" refers to the first person of the Trinity—the three-part understanding of God that also includes the Son and the Holy Spirit. This concept matters because it shapes how Christians understand God's nature and role, particularly as the originating source from which the other two divine persons come.

Encyclopedic overview
Raphael's c. 1518 painting of Prophet Ezekiel's vision of God the Father in glory
God the Father is a title given to God in Christianity. In mainstream trinitarian Christianity, God the Father is regarded as the First Person of the Trinity, followed by the Second Person, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Third Person, the Holy Spirit. Since the second century, Christian creeds included affirmation of belief in "God the Father (Almighty)", primarily in his capacity as "Father and creator of the universe".
