GOD THE FATHER IN HEAVEN AS OUR GOOD
MODEL FOR ALL OUR CHRISTIAN FATHER IN OUR FAMILY
1. EXAMPLE IN LOVING HIS FAMILY.
(1 John 4:19) We love him, because he first
loved us.
2. EXAMPLE IN PROTECTING HIS FAMILY.
( Psalms 91:1-7 ) [1]He that dwelleth in the secret
place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
[2]I will say of the LORD, He is
my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
[3]Surely he shall deliver thee
from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
[4]He shall cover thee with his
feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield
and buckler.
[5]Thou shalt not be afraid for
the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
[6]Nor for the pestilence that
walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
[7]A thousand shall fall at thy
side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
3. EXAMPLE IN PROVIDING THE NEEDS OF THE FAMILY.
( Philippians 4:19 )
]But my
God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.
4. EXAMPLE IN LIVING A HOLY LIFE.
( 1Peter 1:15-16 ) [15]But as he which hath called
you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
[16]Because it is written, Be ye
holy; for I am holy.
5. EXAMPLE IN LISTENING HIS CHILDREN.
John 11:41-42 [41]Then they took away the stone
from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said,
Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
[42]And I knew that thou hearest
me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may
believe that thou hast sent me.
5. EXAMPLE IN GIVING AND LOVING.
( John 3:16 ) For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
( Romans 8:32 ) He that spared not his own Son,
but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us
all things?
6. EXAMPLE IN FORGIVING THOSE THAT DONE TO HIM.
( Ephesians 1:7 ) In whom we have redemption through
his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
( Hebrews 10:17 ) And their sins and iniquities will
I remember no more.
7. EXAMPLE IN SUPPORTING MISSIONS WORK.
( Philippians
4:15-16 ) [15]Now ye
Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed
from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and
receiving, but ye only.
[16]For even in Thessalonica ye
sent once and again unto my necessity.
8. EXAMPLE IN FULLFILLING HIS PROMISE TO HIS DEAR
CHILDREN.
( Titus 1:2 ) In hope of eternal life, which
God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
(Isaiah 41:10) Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help
thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
9. EXAMPLE IN HUMBLENESS BEFORE HIS ALL CREATURE.
(Philippians 2:4-8) [4]Look not every man on his own
things, but every man also on the things of others.
[5]Let this mind be in you, which
was also in Christ Jesus:
[6]Who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
[7]But made himself of no
reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the
likeness of men:
[8]And being found in fashion as a
man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the
cross.
( 1 Peter 5:6 ) Humble yourselves therefore under
the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
10. EXAMPLE IN LOVING AND RESCUING THE PERISHING LOST
PEOPLE.
( 2 Peter 3:9 ) The Lord is not slack concerning
his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
( Jude 1:23 ) And others save with fear, pulling
them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
* God bless you all always *
