The first person of the Trinity is the eternal Father because He has a ____ from eternity.

• A. Power
• B. Son
• C. Nature
• D. Authority

Answer: (B)

The main idea is eternal generation within the Trinity. The Father is eternally the Father because He begets the Son from eternity. This ongoing, uncreated begetting defines the Father’s personal relation to the Son. It isn’t about power, nature, or authority—those are divine attributes that all Persons share—but about the relationship that makes the Father the Father: the eternal begetting of the Son. The Son is present from eternity as the eternal Son, of the same divine essence, and this relationship establishes the Father’s identity as Father.
