“Surely Satan realizes that by pulling fathers from their children he can twist their understanding of God as a Father. And if he can mess up our view of God, he can harm our desire to connect with God. The enemy knows that God desires for you to view Him as Father.”

“Many times people focus on one attribute of God to the exclusion of other attributes, which leads to an inaccurate view of God. But the image of God as a Father encompasses all of His attributes. God as a Father encompasses His holiness because He demands respect and authentic worship (Mal. 1:6). God as a Father incorporates His great love (1 John 3:1), His goodness and generosity (Matt. 7:11), and His kindness as a Daddy (Rom. 8:15). God as a Father includes His sovereignty, as He is the authority over all things (Eph. 4:6), and His knowledge and wisdom (1 Pet. 1:2). And God as Father embodies His justice as He disciplines His own (Heb. 12:7).”
