GOD: CREATOR OR FATHER?

Have you heard the phrase,
“The universal fatherhood of God
and the universal brotherhood of men”?
It sounds warm and fuzzy, but its just not true.
God is not the Father of all people;
God is the Father of those who are born into His family.
But you say,
“But didn’t God create all human beings?”
Yes.
“And if God created all human beings,
wouldn’t that make God the Father of all human beings?”
No, it makes God the Creator of all human beings.
There’s a difference between fatherhood and creation.
God created rats, roaches, buzzards, and rattlesnakes.
He’s not their father.
God becomes our Father not by creation
but by conception when we’re born into His family.

Read the story of creation in Genesis — making the distinction
between the creations of God and the Creator called God.
Go on a nature walk and thank God that He rules over creation
causing the sun to shine, the rain to water the earth,
and for you to have your next breath.
