I never called my dad, “Father.” He was always my Dad and the God in Heaven is my Father. My Dad was a great Dad who was a godly man, but our Heavenly Father is a perfect Father. He will never leave you or forsake you. He will always do what is best. He loves you so much that He sent His One and Only Son into the world to pay for our sins. Jesus gave His life for us. He and the Father are one. And he has adopted those who believe and trust in Jesus, that He lived, that He gave His life, that He paid for our sins on the cross, and that He rose again on the third day and sits at the right hand of God the Father. He has called those of us who accept that gift children of God. And we can call Him, Abba, Father.

We Need Peace
So much focus lately in the news and media is on peace in the Middle East. As we continue to look at the names of God, this week is about peace. But unlike what’s going on in the Middle East, God offers a peace that will last…for all eternity. His peace goes much deeper and will not be broken. He is the God of Peace, Yahweh Shalom.

What do we know about our God? He is eternal. He is the Everlasting God. Hebrew scripture calls Him El Olam, or a form of this. He is the Creator of the universe and everything in it He has existed since the beginning of time and will always exist. He is “the One who is, and who was, and who is to come.” He was not created by man, but created man and woman. He is the all-powerful, all knowing, self-existent God. He is indescribable and beyond our imagination No one is like our God.

When God was asked His name, He said, “Yahweh.” What does that mean? Most Bibles translate as “I am What I Am.” It is said that a more literal translation is “I Will Be Who I Will Be.” Kind of cryptic, huh? By what I have read, this is saying that He is the self-existent one. He is the eternal God and not a created being, which separate Him from all other gods. He always was and always will be. It sounds very similar to how the angels describe God in Revelation 4:8: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”

As we dive into what the Trinity is all about, we will look at each person of the Trinity, the Godhead. Who is God the Father? If you had a good father here on earth, God the Father is so much more. He created us, and He loves us. He knows what is best and will accomplish it. If your relationship with your earthly father was not great, you know there is a Father in heaven who loves and will never harm you. He is Almighty God who is powerful and strong, but yet gentle and kind. He is just and He is merciful. There is so much to Our Father in Heaven that is beyond our comprehension, that is indescribable. But one thing we do know is He loves us and wants an intimate relationship with us. So, who is God the Father?
