God Loves You Unconditionally
In the Part 2 blog post, we discussed how we can trust God through knowing his character by learning the names He has been given in the Bible. In Part 3, we learned of God’s unconditional love. In this Bible study we will look at only one name of God that displays the type of love He has for us. This name is God as our Father.
Since we live in a broken and sinful world, the title of Father can come with heavy baggage and even traumatic experiences. How we have related to our Father can taint the way we think God relates to us. I am so sorry if you have had a difficult relationship with your father. God intended the relationship we have with our father to point us to Himself, and He desires to show you what a perfect father looks like. You have access to the perfect Father. God is perfect. (See Psalm 18:30) As such his love is a perfect love.
If God’s love is perfect. Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Journal your thoughts about how God loves you perfectly in the 1 Corinthians 13 way.
What allows God to love us unconditionally because of our sinful state? Colossians 1:19-22
His love is not based on what we do for Him. Praise be to God that our debt is paid! We are presented blameless before him because of Jesus’s sacrifice for us.
God’s Love as Our Father
Jesus, in the Lord’s prayer, in the New Testament to refers to God as our Father. (See Matthew 6:9). Paul also speaks of God as our Father. Read 1 Corinthians 8:6. How is it that we exist? Would we exist without our earthly parents? How much more so without God.
When you think of a perfect Father, what attributes would they display?
God is our Defender. One attribute of a father is through his protection. God as our Father is our defense. Read Proverbs 18:10, Psalm 62:6, Jeremiah 20:11. What circumstances in your life do you need God as your defense? What comes when we know there is someone strong and capable protecting us?
Because we know God as our Father, we can also know our identity -- the title we have been given. If He is our Father, then we are his children. Read Galatians 4:6-7. What privileges do we have as His children? What are we heir of? Read Ephesians 1:13-14, 1 Peter 1:4. Why is the Holy Spirit and eternity a great inheritance? What will happen to everything else on this earth? Read John 15:26-27, Matthew 24:35.
The most important attribute of God as your Father is his love for you. Not only does he love you, but he cherishes and treasures you. Read Jeremiah 31:3, Isaiah 43:4, Deuteronomy 14:2b. Write down a prayer responding to God's love for you.
Once we know God, we can know who we are. God is our Father, and we are His children. We are loved, protected, cherished, and treasured. As his children we have been given our inheritance. We have been given the Holy Spirit to guide and give us wisdom on this earth, and we have been sealed to inherit our heavenly home when we are no longer on this earth. Praise be to God for his love and guarantee of hope! The more we know what the Bible says of the Master Builder, the more we can trust him and the more we will know ourselves - becoming whole.
This video of a Father and daughter really impacted me. I pray you feel your Heavenly Father’s love even in the difficult circumstances of your life.
