Would you like to know your heavenly Father? God reveals Himself to us through His Word – it helps us to understand the many different aspects of our heavenly Father’s character. Even His names reveal His character. He does not hide Himself from His children but is eager for us to know Who He is. Let’s take a look at just twelve attributes of God as revealed in His Word.
Restorer: “He restores my strength.”
Psalm 23:3
Helper: “You are my helper”
Psalm 70:5
Deliverer: “I will deliver him”
Psalm 91:15
Redeemer: “You, Lord, are our Father, our Redeemer”
Isaiah 63:16
Strength: “The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength”
Isaiah 12:2
Guide: “The Lord will guide you always”
Psalm 58:11
Counselor: “I bless the Lord who gives me counsel”
Psalm 16:7
Strong Tower: “The name of the Lord is a strong tower”
Proverbs 18:10
Love: “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love”
1 John 4:8
Provider: “And my God will meet all your needs”
Philippians 4:19
Healer: “And the Lord will take away from you all sickness”
Deuteronomy 7:15
Everlasting Father: “…and He is named…Everlasting Father”

These twelve verses are merely a fraction of Who God is – He is so much more. God is everything, “For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things” (Romans 11:36). Be encouraged to read the Bible so that you may know your heavenly Father.
