God's Promises Sunday

Father God Is Our Father

Psalm 103:13, As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him.

Many Christians have a problem looking at the Father as a real father. He is invisible, and in many people’s opinions, not involved in our lives. To the contrary, He is very involved with us.

When you are a responsible parent, you not only provide for your children, but you also teach them discipline, responsibility, and you teach them about life.

A wise parent does not always say yes to their child because many times the desires of the child would hurt them in some way.

 A wise parent would start when a child was very young to teach them about Jesus. Teaching at a level of a child could be a matter of reading Bible stories.

An important part of being a good parent is constantly reinforcing the fact that they are loved unconditionally. They can always come to you with absolutely any problem, and they will be heard.

Now let’s look to our Heavenly Father and see He operates with us.

Matthew 23:9, And call no man your father on Earth, for you have one Father, who is in Heaven.

Proverbs 3:11-12, My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be wary of His reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father, the Son whom he delights.

Proverbs 22:6, Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Our Father God provides all our needs, as we need them. We needed a savior to wash away our sins, so He gave us the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Father God gave us His word the Bible and the Holy Spirit to teach, help, and guide us. The Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are always with us.

If we are good Christian parents, we realize that the way we handle God’s gift to us, and to our children, will greatly determine the quality of their lives  and in part where they spend eternity.

All we must do is follow God’s plan with the Bible as a guide to do what He sent us here for. Have you ever heard someone describe other people’s children as sweet and well behaved? God expects that from us, that we are the kind of people that when someone looks at us, they know we are on the right track and we are reflecting Jesus Christ. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!  

Remember Jesus Loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!
