GOD OUR FATHER

Men did not know God until Jesus
came They thought Of Him as being
all wise, all powerful and everywhere
present, but such a God repeHed rather
than attracted them. Being conscious
of sin, they could not help but stand IN
awe Of God who possessed all power,
knew all they did. and from whose
presence they could not escape. II
was utterly impossible to love a God
like that.
Jesus came and revealed this same
God in a way to make Him attract
and not repelI men. He showed the
omnipotent, omniscient and onnipres-
ent God to be God who loved sinful
men so much that He made His son
joint heir with Jesus Christ. The

II more Of US would think of our
selves as Gods children, there would
be fewer people making bad history.

anything else that would relate him, ri

of the relationship that they try to

Therefore, knowing God as. a Father.
IS constant incentive TO live ones

ii. We do not have to make Him
love us. Do we have to make our
earthly fathers love Us? Of course
not The reason our fathers toll, sac
rifce and pray for us is because of
their love. Even when punishment is
administered, the underlying cause is
love. If earthly fathers love their
children without being induced or per-
suaded to do SO, how much more does
God love us without Involvement or
persuasion ON our part.
III. All that he has He has for us.
We are told in the Bible that the
earth is the Lords and the fuIlness
thereof" Everything is His by crea-
tive right. If we are His children, we
are heirs to all that belongs to Him.
Therefore, it is entirely in order to
ask our father for the things we need.

bodily necessities. II we trust Him.

God has all power. We, as His chill
dren, are no weaker. if we lean on
them, than the Everlasting Arms. No
enemy is strong enough to harm those
who trust Him.
