The Fatherhood of God
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the concept of God as Father and its centrality in Jesus' teachings, emphasizing its therapeutic and instructive effect on our understanding of fatherhood. Gregg argues that the anti-father attitude prevalent in modern society can limit our ability to give God the reverence and honor He deserves, and that understanding God's fatherly nature can help fill the gaps caused by the inadequacy of earthly fathers. Through God's fatherhood, we can feel secure both physically and spiritually, and affliction and suffering become meaningful in shaping us for a greater purpose.
