Father God

John Parker
Special to the Telephone

God in His being is self-existing. He is not dependent upon His creation. He not only has life, but He is life to His universe and has the source of all life within Himself. “In Him we live and move and have our being.” He is spirit, without form or parts. He has no physical presence except in the revelation of Himself in the person of Jesus Christ.

God is infinitely present with each one of us. He is always involved in every aspect of our life. He is with us everywhere we go and in everything we do and at all times.

When we accept Christ to be our Savior, God becomes our Father, which is a relationship that is tender and close. Therefore, we should show our reverence, trust, and loving obedience that children owe to a father.

John Parker is the pastor of McDonald Baptist Church.
