God Is the Perfect Father

Humans are flawed, but God is not. Humans mess up, hurt us, or abandon us,

but God never will. Humans pretend to love, run out of love, and turn love

into hate, but God isn’t like that. You are precious to God. He is a

perfect Father. He loves you like no other. When humans disappoint or hurt

you, you can remember that there is someone who cares about you so much

more than they ever could. Even when you mess up, God still loves you. In

fact, God loves you so much that He gave a great sacrifice for you. He sent

His only Son, Jesus, into this broken world to suffer and die for you. And

Jesus rose again on the third day, giving you salvation, the greatest gift

you could ever receive: by putting your trust in Jesus, you can be

forgiven, become God’s child, and have the sure hope of living with Jesus

forever. So, remember that while humans are flawed and mess up all the

time, God never does and never will. God knows you. He created you. He

purposefully made you. God’s love for you is real, and it is never going to

disappear. Humans can do all kinds of things to hurt you, but God wants a

good life for you. He is always with you, and when you call to Him, He

hears you. God is the perfect Father, and He will never fail you. Bethany

Acker What does it mean that God is the perfect Father? If you have

questions about what it means to become God’s child, who are trusted

Christians in your life you could talk to? (You can also find more

information on the “Know Jesus” page.) If you want to dig deeper, read

John 1:12; 8:12; 10:10-11; Acts 2:21-24; and Romans 10:9-11. For God so

loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in

him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NIV)
