Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called, wonderful counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting father, and he will be called the prince of peace.

John 14:5-11 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Romans 8:15-16 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Luke Chapter 15:1-2 Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him (MEANING JESUS) to hear Him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man receives sinners and eats with them.”

1. YOUR EVERLASTING FATHER IS PATIENT.

2 Peter 3:9 God is patient with you, because he does not want any one to perish but he wants everyone to come to repentance.

1 Timothy 1:16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.

2. YOUR EVERLASTING FATHER WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Hebrews 13:5 Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.

2 Corinthians 5:21 God made Him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us.

3. YOUR EVERLASTING FATHER FORGIVES YOU.

Ephesians 1:7-8 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,

Isaiah 43:25 “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.

4. YOUR EVERLASTING FATHER LOVES YOU.

Psalms 103, “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love.”

Luke 15:20 But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

1 John 3:1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
