What does the Bible say about God the Father?
The Bible says that God the Father reigns over all creation with providential care (Psalm 103:19; Matthew 5:45: Acts 14:17), and is in control of every aspect of human life (Genesis 2:7), working all things out for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). His knowledge is unsearchable (Romans 11:33) His power is unmatched (John 10:29) and His love is unchanging (Romans 8:39).
He is full of endless compassion (Lamentations 3:22-23), and is the Father of mercies and God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3). He is also the God of hope, who desires us to experience His joy and peace, and abound in hope (Romans 15:13). He is also love (1 John 4:8), and He has demonstrated His love to us by sending His Son Jesus to rescue us from our sin (Romans 5:8).
His love can also be seen in the way He provides for us (Genesis 22:18; Philippians 4:19), protects us (John 10:29), and works in our lives for His good purposes (Ephesians 2:10), because it is His good pleasure to give us the kingdom (Luke 12:32).
He has created us to be in a relationship with Him (Genesis 1:26-17), and it is only by trusting in Jesus Christ, His Son, that we can experience that relationship (1 Timothy 2:5), and become His children (Galatians 3:26), giving us the privilege of calling Him “Abba Father” (Romans 8:15).
