God the Father

God the Father: Creator, Provider, and Faithful Guide
From the beginning of creation to every moment of our lives, God the Father lovingly cares for His children, faithfully leading us with wisdom, strength, and grace.
God the Father is the eternal Creator, holy and loving, sovereign over all things, and faithful to His promises.
Christians believe in one God who exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father is not distant or uncaring. He creates, provides, guides, corrects, forgives, and calls His people into a relationship of trust and obedience.
Through Jesus Christ, we come to know God not only as Creator and Lord, but as Father.
