Make it Spiritual

We know what he likes, what
he does, and common
characteristics about him. But
we should also know our
heavenly Father.

likes?

God does?
• What are some
characteristics of God?

Here are some Scriptures
that Describe God as a
Father. What can you learn
about God as Father from
each verse?

God as Father
“But when the set time had
fully come, God sent his Son,
born of a woman, born under
the law, to redeem those
under the law, that we might
receive adoption to sonship.
Because you are his sons, God
sent the Spirit of his Son into
our hearts, the Spirit who calls
out, “Abba, Father.” So you are
no longer a slave, but God’s
child; and since you are his
child, God has made you also
an heir. – Galatians 4:4-7

“Yet to all who did receive him,
to those who believed in his
name, he gave the right to
become children of God” –
John 1:12

Protector
“Father of the fatherless and
protector of widows is God in
his holy habitation.” – Psalm
10:14
“When my father and my
mother forsake me, then the
LORD will take me up.” –
Psalm 27:10

Loving
“How great is the love the
Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called
children of God! And that is
what we are!” – 1 John 3:1

Compassionate
“As a father has compassion
on his children, so the LORD
has compassion on those
who fear him.” – Psalm
103:13
“The Father of compassion
and the God of all comfort”
– 2 Corinthians 1:3

Cares for us
“The LORD your God carried
you, as a father carries his
son, all the way you went until
you reached this place.” –
Deuteronomy 1:31

Gives us gifts
“Every good and perfect gift
is from above, coming
down from the Father, who
does not change like
shifting shadows.” – James
1:17

“If you, then, though you are
evil, know how to give good
gifts to your children, how
much more will your Father
in heaven give good gifts to
those who ask him!” –
Matthew 7:11

Disciplines us
“Endure hardship as
discipline; God is treating you
as sons. For what son is not
disciplined by his father? Our
fathers disciplined us for a
little while as they thought
best; but God disciplines us
for our good.” Hebrews
12:7,10

Make it Personal
