Who Is God?

Knowing Our Heavenly Father

Today marks the start of Week Two of this devotional journey. This week, we will take a closer look at who God is and how to relate to Him.

We are introduced to God in the very first verse of the Bible as the Creator. God made everything — that includes you! This is why God is also called “Father.” Everything starts with God, and in the same way, everything finds its purpose in God.

When you gave God all of your heart and life, you were born again. God made you a new creation inside — you get a brand new start with a brand new heart!

“God is your Heavenly Father!”

Along with your new life, you also have a new purpose: to live for God. Thankfully, God — being the loving Father that He is — gives us the instruction we need to live for Him. We find these instructions in the Bible.

This is why consistently reading the Bible, listening to the preaching of God’s Word in church, and doing what God’s Word says is so important. As we apply the truths we learn from the Bible, we will be living our purpose. Just like children resemble their parents, we will reflect our Heavenly Father. People will be able to recognize us as one of God’s children!

Prayer

“Dear Father God, I want to know You better. Reveal more and more of Yourself to me each day. May I live for You. Amen.”
