God the Father

“Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, 'Show us the Father'?’” John 14:9

It is a shocking, awesome, humbling, overwhelming, realization, but it is true - Children get their perception of God by at their own earthly father. That ought to be the gravest challenge any father could ever face.

How about your relationship with God? Is He your Father, spiritually speaking?

God has made the dramatic offer to every member of the human race - the offer of sonship. John 1:12 tell us that “...as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God...”

There is no universal family of God which we join simply by the fact of our humanity. We are not sons of God until we are born again into His kingdom by recognizing His Son, Jesus Christ, as the way, the truth, and the life.
(John 14:6)

John goes on to say, “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.” 1 John 5:1-2

Is God your Father? If not, He is offering to adopt you into His family. He’s a perfect Father in whose care you can rest.
