God the Father (Part 1)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

God the Father holds supreme command as the highest authority within the Godhead, intricately involved in the divine plan to bring many sons to glory through Jesus Christ. His personal engagement was crucial in Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, ensuring its success, and He remains actively involved in the upbringing of His children. He personally regenerates His saints, offering a profound promise alongside Jesus Christ to preserve and keep them through Their power. Despite His deep involvement, the world remains largely unaware of Him, blinded to the true knowledge of His identity and plan, which causes immense suffering. God the Father, as the epitome of love, is revealed through Jesus Christ, who came to fully disclose Him to the called and chosen. He has intentionally hidden His identity from the world while revealing it to His church, with Jesus Christ deciding, in connection with Him, who will know Him. As Creator and sustainer of the universe, He created all things through Jesus Christ, authorizing the works of creation carried out by the Word. The ultimate source of biblical truth, He directs Jesus Christ, who carries out His will with enthusiasm and without hesitation, as They are in full agreement and of one purpose. His attributes, revealed through Scripture, showcase His nature as Spirit, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, eternal, immutable, and unchangeable, among others. Being Spirit, He has no physical form yet possesses form and shape in the spiritual realm, invisible to the human eye but seen in visions by prophets like Daniel. His immutability ensures that His character, will, purpose, and counsel remain unchanging, providing a foundation of certainty and hope for salvation and eternal life. His laws and truth are constant, unaffected by time or human standards, establishing Him as the standard of perfection. As the moral Ruler and supreme Judge, He stands against sin from eternity to eternity, His fatherly grace unable to avert judgment on the unrepentant. Through Jesus Christ, He offers salvation and eternal life to His potential firstborn children, embodying fatherhood as selfless love, forgiveness, education, and sincere communication. He is the ideal of perfection to which all should aspire, guiding His children through His teachings and example as revealed by Jesus Christ.
