God – Our Father

For us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things come and for whom we live. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things come and through whom we live (1 Corinthians 8:6).

Our Father loves us so!

Christian life begins with obedience, depends on obedience and results in obedience. To really love God means living out His commands no matter what the cost.

But You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us; You, O Lord, are our Father, our Redeemer (Isaiah 63:16).

Blessed are you, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever (1 Chronicles 29:10).

Is He not your Father, your Creator who made you and formed you? (Deuteronomy 32:6)

Your life is entwined with the God who gave you birth. Frail dust, remember you are splendor!

But now, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay and You our Potter. All we are the work of Your hands (Isaiah 64:8).

Behold! What manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called “Children of God”! (1 John 3:1)

Because You are sons, God sent the spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out “Abba, Father”. So you are no longer a slave but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir (Galatians 4:6-7).

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ Jesus, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may share in His glory (Romans 8:15-17).

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children. And live a life of love (Ephesians 5:1-2).

Live as children of the Light (Ephesians 5:8).

For God (who said “Let light shine out of darkness”) made His Light shine in our hearts to give us the light of His knowledge: of the glory of God in the face of Jesus the Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).

Make us aware of how precious Your Word is. Bless those who transport it to far-off places. Thank You, Father, for giving us this source of light and strength and for the opportunities to uncover the jewels waiting to be discovered in Your pages.
