Here are some Scriptures that Describe God as a Father. What can you learn about God as Father from each verse?





God as Father“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir. – Galatians 4:4-7





“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” – John 1:12





Protector“Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.” – Psalm 10:14

“When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.” – Psalm 27:10





Loving“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” – 1 John 3:1





Compassionate“As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.” – Psalm 103:13

“The Father of compassion and the God of all comfort” – 2 Corinthians 1:3





Cares for us“The LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.” – Deuteronomy 1:31





Gives us gifts“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father, who does not change like shifting shadows.” – James 1:17





“If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” – Matthew 7:11





Disciplines us“Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good.” Hebrews 12:7,10
