These are just at the top of my head, i gathered them in 5 minutes. God is called the
Father hundreds of times in Scripture, never, ever the Son or Spirit. Christ emphatically stated that all his power and authority comes exclusively from the Father. IN all the doxologies in the Epistles, The Father is distinguished from the Son, except for one or two exceptions, and the Holy Spirit is never, ever mentioned at all. In the Book of Revelation, where Christ is in his exalted state, never is the Holy Spirit even mentioned. And we could go on till the cows come home.
1 Corinthians 15:27-28
15:27. For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
