God the Father
from Grace Baptist Church Sermon Audio Hosted by David Luttrull
The Problem with Earthly Comparisons: The speaker acknowledges that many people have had negative experiences with earthly fathers. However, he argues that instead of minimizing God's fatherhood, we should view God as the perfect pattern that earthly fathers often fail to reflect. The Father in Relation to the Son: The primary way God is a father is in his eternal relationship with Jesus Christ. The speaker cites several scriptures (John 1:14, 3:16, 17:5) to illustrate that the Father and Son have existed together for all eternity. Biblical Theology of the Father: The lesson traces the concept of God as Father from the Old Testament through the New Testament: Old Testament: God is described as the Father and Redeemer of Israel, showing both authority and care. New Testament: This care is extended to the whole world through the sacrifice of Jesus.
