Concerning the spirituality of Christianity, it’s always best to seek that which is the most important; and wisdom teaches one to regularly seek from God that which has the most spiritual growth at the present time. One can be sure that one of the most important of all issues at all times is bestowing to the Father honor and praise. Equally important is bestowing honor and praise to the Lord Jesus for His part in expiating the sins of all reborn; and blessed be the Holy Spirit in the highest sense and respect, for being used to do all that They do.
Every blessing man receives proceeds from the Father, for all is to glorify Him through the Son (Jhn 5:19; 12:49; 15:15). Thus, it is imperative to contribute all to the Father, through the Son, by Their Holy Spirit.
It seems all begins with the Father and ends with Him. He sent the Lord Jesus, and the Lord Jesus sent the Spirit—from the Father (Jhn 15:26).
To whom will every tongue eventually confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord? “To the glory of the Father” (Phl 2:11). Hence, I have no difficulty in understanding that the Father is the “Godhead.” In all three usages when Scripture refers to the “Godhead” it’s always in reference to God, who is the God and Father of the Lord Jesus (Jhn 20:17).
In Acts 17:29 we see that Christians “are the offspring of God,” and that we are “not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.”
Romans 1:19, 20 writes, “that which may be known of God is manifest in them (the unsaved world, which believes God exists but do not believe in His Word), because God hath shewed it unto them” (proved in their conscience He is real, no such thing as a genuine atheist). For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” (nobody will be able to claim ignorance).
Colossians 2:9 is the primary adherence to all that pertains to God, in that all that God is, the Son is, concerning essence and power; of course this does not include the fact that the Father, or God, is in the highest authority of the Trinity (Jhn 14:28). This passage declares that the “fullness of the Godhead” (all that the Father is) resides or “dwells” within Christ, the Lord Jesus. There is Son of God, Spirit of God, but no Father of God—because God is the Father; and all other references to Christ and the Spirit being God are only in the sense of representing God the Father in the complete capacity of all that God the Father is in essence and power; as if its God Himself.
