Knowing God the Father as Creator: Faith-Creed Lesson 2 Steven L. Childers


"If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all.” – J. I. Packer

The Bible presents the unfolding mission of the Triune God as Creator, Redeemer, and Restorer of all things lost in humanity and creation because of the Fall:

  • God the Father establishes his good and perfect will by creating all things

  • God the Son accomplishes the Father’s will by redeeming all things lost in the Fall

  • God the Spirit applies the Father’s will by restoring all things lost in the Fall

To know God means to know who God is and what God does as Triune Lord – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To help you better understand and apply what it means to know God the Father as Creator, you’ll learn three biblical truths:

  • the Father’s name

  • the Father’s nature

  • the Father's work as Almighty Creator

Join us as we delve into the depths of the Trinity, focusing on the Father's role as the Lord of Creation.
