Defining the Father figure is not an easy task. In some aspects He is unknowable but the bible does give us some information. Let’s start with He is a Supreme Being, Creator, and Sustainer of life itself. Deserving of our worship and warns is not to put anything above Him. We refer to Him as YHWH or LORD in all caps. So any time you see that in your bible that is a translation of YHWH. YHWH is the creator of time itself the measurements between any 2 points. The concept of time was created by Him and for his glory. 

“The God and Father of the Lord Jesus” (2 Corinthians 11:31…)

God is Father, has fatherly love that reveals itself in time. It is first of all in relation to the eternal Son–before all time–that the meaning of Fatherhood in God is made clear. God the Father is all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere. He is absolute holiness. No darkness exists within him

God has always existed. His very name,YHWH, means “I AM,” indicating that he always has been and always will be. The Bible does not reveal what he was doing before he created the universe, but it does say that God is in heaven now, with Jesus at his right hand.

God the Father’s love motivates everything he does. Through his covenant with Abraham, he chose the Jews as his people, then nurtured and protected them, despite their frequent disobedience. In his greatest act of love, God the Father sent his only Son to be the perfect sacrifice for the sin of all humanity, Jews and all the other people of the world. Jesus urged us to think of God as our loving father and went a step further by calling him Abba, an Aramaic word roughly translated as “Daddy,” to show us how intimate our relationship with Him. 

God is Father, but equally fundamental is His relation to His world as its Moral Ruler and Judge. From eternity to eternity the holy God must pronounce Himself against sin. But God the father set a plan in place to save humanity from itself. Left to ourselves, we would spend eternity in hell because of our sin. God graciously sent Jesus to die in our place, so that when we through him, we can choose God and heaven.

God the father is just yet merciful. He gave humans the gift of free will, by not forcing anyone to follow him. Anyone who rejects God’s offer of forgiveness of sins is responsible for the consequences of their decision.

God, the Father’s plan for salvation is lovingly based on his grace, not on human works. Only Jesus’ righteousness is acceptable to God the Father. Repenting of sin and accepting Christ as Savior makes us justified, or righteous, in God’s eyes. God cares. He intervenes in the lives of people. He answers prayer and reveals himself through his Word, circumstances, and people.

God the Father has triumphed over Satan. Despite Satan’s evil influence in the world, he is a defeated foe. God’s final victory is certain. God is sovereign. He is in complete control, no matter what is happening in the world. His ultimate plan always overrules humankind.

Simple observation shows that people who do not have God are lost, both figuratively and literally. They have only themselves to rely on in times of trouble and will have only themselves they do not have God and his blessings and loving divine nature for eternity. God the Father can be known only through faith, based on facts. Unbelievers demand physical proof. Jesus Christ supplied that proof, by fulfilling prophecy, healing the sick, raising the dead, and rising from death himself.

But they have rejected those facts or we have not talked about the facts to them yet. 

A human lifetime is not long enough to learn everything about God the father, but the Bible is the best place to start. While the Word itself never changes, God miraculously teaches us something new about him every time we read it.
