God has revealed himself throughout the pages of Scripture to be a father. God is our Heavenly Father. However, when we bring our own history and experiences of fathers to this new understanding of God, we must ask the question, “what kind of a father is God”? In this message, we'll look at how the Apostle John helps us answer this question in 1 John 3 when he erupts with emotion about the love that God has for us, his children, and the difference this makes in our lives.
