Understanding God, as God the Father has been the urge of man's curiosity since the beginning of his creation. Man will always have the urge to understand a superior being to him until the end of time. Understanding God and His reasons for His creations with simple common sense, can make a difference in how man addresses and love God. Spiritual faith is the first step in addressing God, before man can simply understand Him as a Superior Being who created the universe, the earth and man. For man to fully understand God, his faith must start at the very beginning: 1) Believe that God exists. 2) Understand who is God "The Father".
1) Spiritual faith is the only way for man to know and understand that God exists. "There is a living God".
2) Who is God;
God is a pure full spiritual being with no matter and no parts. He is called Father because
He is the only supreme source of everything from whom all fatherhood takes its name
in heaven and on earth. God is called the creator who has infinite power, made all things out of nothing, by just willing it. The main characteristics or pure quality of God's nature is His eternity and having the fullness of being, cannot change into anything higher or better. God is eternal and since he is unchangeable has no past or future, is always in an unchanging presence. Other characteristics or pure quality of God's nature are in relation to His creation of the world and man. Because He is almighty and nothing is impossible, He created the world and man and knew everything before they were made. He fills the earth with His presence but does not take up space because He is a spirit that caused things to be and keeps them in being. (God's presence is needed to maintain His creation). God is all just because He rewards good and punishes evil. He will repay everyone according to his good deeds and banish, with great sorrow, anyone who sins through free choice and cannot be saved. God is love because he is giving and wants all of mankind to come to Him. God has love because he is mercy and just which are identified in Him. God's justice is His Mercy is Himself. He is like any good father who wants all of his children to turn out well.
God who is a full spiritual being lives within His natural laws which makes Him perfect. These laws maintain His pure quality and characteristics thus makes Him God. In comparison of God to his creations, the universe, earth and man. All of His creations need interaction with one another and a source element of nature, to survive and live for a certain amount of time. God does not need anything to live and is the source element for His creations and lives in an everlasting presence.
Man was first created in a human form but was given gifts similar to the angles who were created in a spiritual form. The most important of these gifts was man would not die, but live to a point where God was satisfied, then transformed into angles and enter heaven. Man disappointed God in the garden of Eden and the forbidden fruit and was reduced to the very basic human he is today. Because of God's great love, he was not destroyed or banished forever, but given a chance to redeem himself and with this was given the ultimate gift, Jesus Christ.
There is so much more to understand about God "The Father" that can greatly strengthen Christian Spiritual Faith.
All humans have a basic simple belief that there is a source of some form greater than himself. Cultures in many parts of the world that have little or no contact with the modern day religions and the new world, have some form of worship to a greater being. In some places huge rocks or trees are carved into statues resembling a "GOD" of some form. In other places certain animals, birds and even sea creatures are considered representatives of a God.
These cultures, without modern- day education or influence by the western world and modern religions, have that human basic instinct of a superior being, a "God". The one notable thing about these cultures are, they are consistent in their practice of worship. God exists and all cultures of the world should understand this by the simple fact of their natural surroundings. The instinct to worship and try and understand a superior source or being, is driven by nature itself, the sun, the moon, the earth and so on.
Man must understand, by his natural surroundings that there is a superior source, God!
