What Christians believe
about God as Father
What this means for
Christians?
Believing in God as Father shows
that God creates human life like afather does.
In the story of creation it is written
that the Earth is given to Adam and
Eve and they are told that it will
provide food for them.
In the Lords Prayer God is called
Our Father..
People would turn to their fathers
when they are in need
Christians believe that God is the
Father.
So God is not a creator who creates
and leaves his creation to get on withthings, he has a relationship of love
and care with creation.
So, as their Father, God will provide
for his children.
So he will provide us with our daily
bread and protect us from evil
because he is Our Father.
So, Christians can turn to god when
they are in need because he is theirFather.
So the father-child relationship
should be the same as a Christians
relationship with God.
