Do you know the mystery of Genesis 1:26?
First, let us look at Genesis 1:26.
Ge 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness ..."
If the Creator, who made man, were only God the Father, He should have said, "Let me make man in my image, in my likeness."
However, God said, "Let us..."
If there were only God the Father, how could God use the plural pronoun "us"?
Those who believe that there is only God the Father find it difficult to understand this verse.
Then, why did God refer to Himself as "us"?
Let us look at the next verse.
Ge 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Male and female were created in the image and likeness of God.
This means that God exists in both a male image and a female image.
People have long understood God only as the male image and have called Him God the Father.
Then, what should we call the female image of God?
Of course, God the Mother.
In other words, there is God the Mother as well as God the Father.
That's why God referred to Himself as "us."
When we let go of the fixed idea that there is only God the Father, we can clearly understand the existence of God the Mother.
Therefore, according to the teachings of the Bible, we must believe in not only God the Father but also God the Mother.

The Bible teaches that anyone who says there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). Likewise, those who deny God the Mother testified to in the Bible, believing that only God the Father exists, are also foolish. They cannot be saved.
