Christ: Father by creation. Jesus Christ is known as Father by virtue of his role as Creator. Long before he became mortal he was directly involved in creation. “While yet in the premortal existence Jehovah advanced and progressed until he became like unto God. Under the direction of the Father he became the Creator of worlds without number, and thus was himself the Lord Omnipotent.” (Bruce R. McConkie, “The Mystery of Godliness,” p. 52.) Enoch expressed the grandeur of the Lord’s creative enterprise when he exclaimed: “Were it possible that man could number the particles of the earth, yea, millions of earths like this, it would not be a beginning to the number of thy creations” (Moses 7:30). To Moses the Lord God explained how it was that he had created the world: “For mine own purpose have I made these things. Here is wisdom and it remaineth in me. And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth. And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten.” (Moses 1:31-33; cf. Hebrews 1:1-3.)
