When I was young, I made the same mistake as the disciple Philip (John 14:8). I thought of God the Father as having a completely different motivation than Jesus. I thought the Father was angry at us for sinning and was set on punishing us by destroying us, but Jesus stepped in and rescued us from the Father.
But Jesus is the exact representation of the Father (Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 2:1-3). Jesus' words are the Father's words (John 12:49-50). Jesus' actions are exactly what the Father designed to occur (John 5:19).
It is true that God the Father is angry at sin, so is Jesus (Isaiah chapter 5; John 2:13-16). It is true that sin must be punished (Leviticus chapter 4). It is true that those who continue to practice sin will not enter the kingdom of God but will be cast out from God's presence forever (Galatians 5:19-21; Matthew 25:30-46).
But both the Father and the Son wanted to rescue their creation from this destruction. So God (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) planned and carried out our rescue by Jesus' birth, death and resurrection ( Colossians 1:12-15).
