The Father of Glory

Coming out of the Romans study, I had been meditating on God's glory. I carried this emphasis into the study of fatherhood in the book of John, and made some interesting connections.

Fatherhood Verses

Here is the list of verses out of John that Billy gave us to study fatherhood.  Feel free to post comments as you study them and God reveals his character and nature to you.

"No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known." John 1:18

Fatherhood

Father GodHere is an old post I wrote for ex-icarus, just to get the discussion going.

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” -1 John 3:1

One of the things that we like to talk about the most in our church is the fatherhood of God. This aspect of his character is central to who he is. The more I come to know God and walk through my life with him, the more I know him as Father. From the beginning God wanted children. Ever since, we have been rebellious sons. He is hungry to know us and care for us, but we don’t trust him, and we want to do life our own way. I enjoy spending time with families in the church who have young children. You can learn a lot about yourself and your own immaturities with God by watching how young children interact with their fathers. I thought it would be a good idea to share a few of these lessons that I have picked up.
