Who is the Father?

Our heavenly father is the creator of all known and unknown things. He is our Father in heaven who is watching his children here on earth. The bible teaches us that approximately 6,000 years ago the Father anointed his son Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit to create the earth and the heavens and all that dwell amongst them. It was the Father that orchestrated everything. Once he had completed the creation he rested on the seventh day. After which, Christ had the earth as his foot stool. Although it has been Christ that has been dealing with mankind for the past 6,000 years, it is his Fathers will that has been unfolding all this time.  Here are the answers to some questions I came up with that might help.

How did he speak to us prior to Christ?

We know that no one has seen or heard the Father except for Christ. So that means that the Father has never been to the earth let alone speak to anyone on the earth. So who was it that was speaking to us in the Old Testament if it wasn’t God the Father? It was Christ. The very Christ that created the earth and all it inhabitants was the same who walked and talked to Adam and Eve in the Garden. He was known as many different names like; Jehovah, God, Lord all meaning the same thing relating to the same GOD. And in this case it is God the Son.

How does he speak to us now?

Well we know that the Father doesn’t speak to us directly. But he does speak to us via the Holy Spirit and his Word (the bible). We know that all mankind is born into sin and falls short of the glory of God. So that means that all mankind is going to eternal damnation on Judgment Day except for the ones that the Father has pre-ordained to be saved from eternal death. It is these people that God reveals himself to through the bible. It is these Christians that have their relationship with the Father, and he teaches them through the bible to reach others with the truth. So God speaks to us through other people, trials, thoughts and we check these other things through his written word “The Bible”

What does he want?

He wants us to seek his wisdom. It is that simple. Take your own child. Isn’t it your best hope that your child would seek to understand everything that you have to teach them? As it is with your Father in heaven, he wants us to praise and worship him in truth. Where do we find this truth? In the bible. He wants us to read his written word in the bible. He wants us to meditate on it and understand it. Then to reach out and teach others what he has taught us.

Why did he create us?

This is a very interesting question in that it has a very interesting answer. We can extrapolate that when God created the earth and the angels and all the animals, everything had a purpose and functioned according to its purpose. Except for man. Man was actually created for a much greater purpose than everything else on earth and in heaven. We were created in Gods image to have a relationship with the Father.

How did he create us?

He created Adam and Eve on the 6th day of creation. He spoke it and it came to be. All things were created by the Father through Christ.

Why didn’t he make it so everyone goes to heaven?

As humans we have a hard time grasping things of a Godly nature. This is where Faith comes into play. Having faith in trusting that God knows what he is doing. He tells us in his word that we will understand everything when we cross over from this earthly body to his presence.

  1. One thing I don’t like is there is no Biblical references and I don’t think you can find any for some thoughts , IE. ” He (Christ) was known as many different names like; Jehovah, God, Lord all meaning the same thing relating to the same GOD. And in this case it is God the Son . ”

    And what I understand from the Bible God the Father walked in the garden with Adam and Eve till sin . Gen. 3:8-24

  2. After they sinned in the garden, they heard Gods footsteps and ran and hid.
