THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A FATHER



1.       A Father’s Role:  When a father properly fulfils his role in the family, he is fulfilling a picture of the heavenly Father’s relationship to his children. (Gen. 1:26, 27), he was given the potential role of father to earthly children.

2.       A Father Gives Life to His Children: CHILDREN WANTS A FATHER TO BE PRESENT
  
3.       A Father Loves His Children: When a father gives to his children, he is demonstrating the strongest expression of love possessed by human beings

4.       A Father Protects His Children: A good father desires to protect his children, which is carried over into his duties and responsibilities. How much more does the supernatural love of God cause him to step in and protect us. God protects his children today in working all things for good (Rom. 8:28).


5.       A Father Will Provide for His Family: The father is the provider for the home. The father who loves his family is a willing provider. Our heavenly Father is much more a provider. “(James 1:17)

6.       A Father Will Teach and Train His Children: Part of the biblical responsibilities of being a father is to train up children.  A good father will be an example and teacher for his children. Our heavenly Father has given us the Holy Spirit. Jesus noted, “I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter” (John 14:16). “The Comforter which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things” (John 14:26).
