So I have a struggle to understand/view God the Father the way He is, like His character and stuff, because i view Him like my earthly father (short tempered, yelling, easly irritated, afraid of him). Can anyone describe Him to me?
And also: how do I forgive, i get offended easly and struggle to know that i truly forgave someone?
Christ said of the Pharisees "you are like your father the devil - he was a liar... he was a murderer".
By contrast God is "our Father" who so loved the world of sinners and rebels - that He gave Himself to die for us. "God was IN Christ - reconciling the World to Himself" 2 Cor 5.
Imagine a mother who said to someone on death row - my son has asked permission that he might die in your place... I could not bear to think of such a thing - but I also love you my friend and I have decided to let my child do it...
That is the love of the Father for us.
In John 14 Jesus said "if you have seen me -- you have seen the Father - who is it then that you say - SHOW us the Father" -
Jesus said his word and actions describe to exact perfection - the Father.
John 1
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only
Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.... 18 No one has seen God at any time; God the only
Son, who is in the arms of the Father, He has explained
Him.
Jesus said some need to think of God as they think of their mother "Can a mother forget her nursing child? Yes in extreme cases even these MAY forget but I will never forget you.. I have engraved you on the palms of my hands" Is 49:16
