“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:4-6)

“For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.” (1 Corinthians 8:5-6)

A True Father

God is our Father and God is the father of all. We know that God is good, just, and loving and that Jesus perfectly represented the Father to us. John 14:9 states, “…Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?” Jesus is the most loving and caring person any of us will ever know. He knows our needs so intimately that he can heal us in areas we are unaware need His touch. Because He reveals the Father to us, we know the Father shares this love for us too. 

“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” (1 John 4:16)

Genesis 1:27 shares, “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Throughout the history of mankind, God has allowed men made in His image to also reveal the nature of a father. He designed the world to work in families and wants men to represent the care, love and protection that He himself has for us, within their own families.
