We believe that God established His relationship as Father, first to His people, Israel, and then to all who would believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ.
(Deuteronomy 14:1-2, Matthew 6:9)
We believe God the Father is perfect in wisdom, completely holy, completely just, yet merciful, and completely loving. At times He disciplines His children, in love, for their sanctification.
(Psalm 147:5, Isaiah 6:3, Deuteronomy 32:4, Psalm 145:8-9, 1 John 4:7-8, Hebrews 12:5-11)
We believe God the Father is attentive to His people; He hears their prayers and grants eternal salvation to all who come to Him through Jesus. He sits enthroned over all creation and will one day judge the living and the dead.
(1 Peter 3:12, Psalm 9:7, Revelation 20:11-15)
