"Whom the Son Sets Free is Free Indeed"

Father Of Mercies

By

2 Cor 1:3:  Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.

THE FATHER IS REFERRED TO AS “THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST “

2 Cor 11:31: The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

Eph 1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Col 1:3: We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

1 Peter 1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

WE WORSHIP OUR FATHER GOD BECAUSE HE IS THE BEGINNING OF ALL LIFE

Eph 3:14-15: 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.

CREATION WAS THROUGH THE WORD WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST

John 1:1-3 and vs. 14: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 The same was in the beginning with God.3 All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. VS. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

  • There is interaction within the Trinity
  • Father God-first person of the Godhead
  • Jesus is called the Word of God
  • The Holy Spirit is the Power of Action of God
  • The three in one
  • They are co-equal, co-eternal, one eternal God, and no way separated. All had no beginning and will have no end
  • All-powerful, all-knowing, and present everywhere

Another way to say that is: Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent.

OUR FATHER GOD HAS UNLIMITED POWER AND AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH

SEVERAL OTHER VERSES SHOW HOW POWERFUL OUR FATHER GOD IS

Psalm 62:11: God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

Psalm 48:1: Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Nahum 1:3 – The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Psalms 96:4 – For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

(Also in: 1 Chronicles 16:25, Ps 40:5, Jer 10:6, Jer 32:17-19, and Rom 11:33 )

PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT HAVE HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR EARTHLY FATHERS

  • May have a hard time relating to the idea of a loving spiritual father
  • But God says if we seek Him, He will be found

In Jeremiah 29:13: And ye shall seek me and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

WHEN YOU SEEK HIM THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, HE SHALL BE FOUND

HE IS OUR HEAVENLY FATHER GOD, AND HE IS:

He is a loving Father: 1 John 3:1: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Ever-Present and Our Hiding Place:  Ps 46:1: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Rich in mercy:  Eph 2:4-5: But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Forgiving and Just: 1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Strong and Mighty Ps 24:8: Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

Healer and Deliverer Jer 17:14: Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Give your heart to Jesus today!

Father in heaven,
Thank you for sending your Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for the forgiveness of my sin. Lord Jesus, please forgive me of all of my sins, come into my heart, and be my Lord and Savior. Please, help me to live for you and fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
