God the Father
The first name on our list is God the Father. Why is this an important name for him? Christianity isn't the only one that uses this title or name for their god. Pagan religions do as well. But in Christianity, our God is different.
In Christianity, we know that God is the creator of everything. From the world to humanity. And he has an active interest in our daily affairs. Especially those of us that have given our hearts to his Son Jesus. He is our Father. To whom we can go to for wisdom and answers to our heartfelt desires, prayer, and protection.
He is the first person of the Trinity and even though as humans we have no ability to totally understand the Godhead while we live on earth, he is equal to God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit in all ways. He has created all things for his own pleasure.
God the Father is our example of a loving Father who loves us unconditionally and without favor of rejecting anyone that comes to him in humility and reverence. He is the perfect example for earthly fathers to display to their families. He is fair and above all he is holy.
The bible is his love letter to us. It was given to us to instill love, hope and charity in us as well as how to get through our lives in the best possible ways by first accepting Jesus as our Savior, obeying him so that we can live a righteous life and win others to Christ for him.
Simply put God the Father is love. John 3:16 And Acts 17:24-28 is our promise for today, February 28, 2019 and it says this:
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations that they should inhabit the whole earth, and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from anyone one of us. For in him, we live and move and have our being. As some of your poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'
And these are the reasons we call him Father God. Thanks for coming by today Friends. Please come back tomorrow when we will find out more about why he is called Yahweh. Until then, be blessed today!
