What does the Bible say about God as our Father?

Answered in 13 sources

The Bible describes God as our Father in a unique and intimate relationship with His children, emphasizing His love and care.

In Scripture, God is referred to as our Father in various ways. He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through adoption, believers are made His children (Ephesians 1:4-5). This relationship signifies that God knows our needs before we even ask and provides for us, showing His paternal love and mercy. Our prayer life reflects this closeness, as we can approach Him freely, knowing we are loved and accepted (Matthew 6:5-8). As Romans 8:15 states, we receive the spirit of adoption whereby we can cry out 'Abba, Father.'
