God Loves Us

Almighty God the Father, the One True God and Creator of the Universe

 Anyone who knew Brant Baker as their shepherd knew that he always emphasized to everyone how much that God loves us. In fact that was the main focus of Shekinah fellowship from my perspective as just an attendee.

God the Father is the perfect example for all earthly fathers. He is holy, just and fair, but his most outstanding quality is love: Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:8, NIV)

 Jesus urged us to think of God as our loving father and went a step further by calling him Abba, an Aramaic word roughly translated as "Papa Daddy," to show us how intimate our relationship with him is.

God the Father created the universe and everything in it. He is a big God but at the same time is a personal God who knows each person's every need. Jesus said God knows us so well he has numbered every hair on each person's head.

God the Father is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnipresent (everywhere).

He is absolute holiness. No darkness exists within him.
God is just yet merciful. He gave humans the gift of free will, by not forcing anyone to follow him.

Anyone who rejects God's offer of forgiveness of sins is responsible for the consequences of their decision.

God cares. He intervenes in the lives of people. He answers prayer and reveals himself through his Word (the Bible), circumstances, and people.
