For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.” ⸻ Episode Highlights • The Father’s love brings believers into His family as His beloved children through Jesus Christ. • Salvation is more than forgiveness—it is adoption into a personal relationship with the Father. • God’s love is not defined by imperfect earthly fathers but by His own perfect character. • The cross is the greatest demonstration of the Father’s love, shown while we were still sinners. • The Father’s love is faithful, holy, unchanging, and calls His children to reflect His love toward others. ⸻ Scriptures to Reflect On • 1 John 3:1 – See the great love the Father has given us as His children. • Romans 8:15 – Believers have received the Spirit of adoption and cry, “Abba, Father.” • John 16:27 – The Father Himself loves those who believe in Christ. • John 3:16 – God demonstrated His love by giving His Son. • Romans 5:8 – God showed His love while we were still sinners. • Ephesians 2:1–5 – God’s mercy and love made us alive with Christ. • Luke 15:11–24 – The father welcomes the prodigal son home. • Romans 8:38–39 – Nothing can separate believers from the love of God in Christ. • Ephesians 5:1 – Believers are called to imitate God as His beloved children. ⸻ Takeaway Thought The Father’s love is not something we earn—it is a gift of His grace.

The Character of God — God as Father – The Father Who Reveals Himself

Awakened to Deliver — The Character of God Week 27 — God as Father Day 1 – The Father Who Reveals Himself Key Verse: Matthew 11:27 (WEBUS) “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.” ⸻ Episode Highlights • God is known because He has chosen to reveal Himself, not because of human imagination or effort. • Jesus Christ perfectly reveals the Father, making Him known to all who believe. • The Father has spoken throughout history, but His fullest revelation is found in His Son. • To know Jesus is to know the Father and enter into a real relationship with Him. • As we study Christ through Scripture, we grow in our understanding of the Father’s character, love, holiness, and truth. ⸻ Scriptures to Reflect On • Matthew 11:27 – The Son reveals the Father. • John 14:8–9 – Whoever has seen Jesus has seen the Father. • Hebrews 1:1–3 – God has spoken through His Son, the exact representation of His nature. • 2 Corinthians 4:6 – God’s glory is revealed in the face of Jesus Christ. • John 17:3 – Eternal life is knowing the only true God through Jesus Christ. ⸻ Takeaway Thought We do not have to wonder what God is like because He has made Himself known through Jesus Christ. The more we look to Christ in the Scriptures, the more clearly we see the Father’s heart. Rather than allowing culture, experience, or imagination to define God, we are called to know Him as He has revealed Himself through His Word and His Son. ⸻ Stay Connected Grab a free digital copy of 30 Days of Patience and explore more resources in the Linktree below.
