Bible Matters 466:  God the Father

There is but one God, God the Father, creator of heaven and earth.   Creator of all that you see and don’t see.  When you put your trust in God, he will lead you out of darkness and into the light.  To open your eyes, turn from darkness and born of the spirit, walking in the light of righteousness.   One God and Father of all. 

Genesis 1:1-4 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

John 20:17 – Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Acts 17:24 – God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Acts 26:18 – To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Ephesians 4:6 – One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

God is a spirit, that no one has seen at any time.  Jesus brought God’s gospel of Love to this earth, to be lived by all.  May your love be perfect with boldness in the day of judgement.  Out of the mouth of all eight witnesses, when you love God, then you love your brother.

1 John 4:11-12,16-17,21 – Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.  No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.  And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Jesus knew to worship, the one and only God the Father.   Only the Lord God shall you serve.

Luke 4:8 – And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Matthew 4:10 – Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

In the ninth hour, whilst dying on the cross, Jesus called on God the Father.  The truth often comes out to a man in distress.  Jesus worshipped God as the Father.  He walked the earth as commanded by God.  He did the will of God.   If this is your ninth hour, then it is never too late to accept the power of God into your life.

Luke 23:34,46 – Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Out of the mouth of all eight witness, the testimony declares the truth that God as the Father.  When you believe on Jesus, then you believe on the gospel of Love, that Jesus delivered for God to the Gentiles and the Jews.  When you believe on Jesus, you work the works of God.  It all starts with faith.  There is but one God.

John 6:27-29 – Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.  Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

1 Corinthians 8:3-4,6 – But if any man love God, the same is known of him.  As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.  But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

You must have faith in the message that Jesus brought to this earth. You must believe that God raised Jesus from the dead.

Galatians 1:1-5 – Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
