God, Our Heavenly Father Part 1
Introduction:
The idea is too complex for our infinite minds, but as hard to understand as it sounds, the Bible presents God as three distinct Personalities - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus is known to most Christians as our Savior and all that implies, and the Holy Spirit* as encouraging and self-effacing. However, too many see the Father as someone judgmental and demanding, Someone ready to "bop" us the minute we step out of line. Unfortunately, this is a totally inaccurate picture. In our study we will try to correct this wrong idea by showing what the Bible has to say about the Father.
