(edit to add . . . this is regarding those who may claim that Jesus does not eternally co-exist with the Father, for instance, that Jesus is a created being. If we were to say that the Father created the Son, we would then have to go on to say that . . . )
The God, the Father, that Creates the Son changes from a God who does not love, and becomes one that does.
Malachi prophesies, I YHWH change not. Therefore this cannot be true.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
God is love, and God loves the Son. If God were alone before the creation of the Son, there was no one to love. Not Himself, that's a self-indulgent love. God is love, and has always loved.
There was not a time when God decided that He wanted to start loving, and so created an object of that love.
Let's say that's exactly what God did, created an object of His love so that He could love. Do you see it? God then reveals He has a need that must be fulfilled by His creation. He wanted to love, but had none to love, so He made someone to love.
But "I YHWH change not". God has always loved, and shares the love He has always had with us.
Much love!
