Promises Fathers Need To Keep

7/4/2022

 Promises Father's Need to KeepGod has made many wonderful promises to His faithful children in Christ. In doing so He set an ideal example for Christian fathers. Let's examine several of God's promises, and use them to inspire Christian fathers to make similar promises to their children.
I promise to be there for you. God promises that He will never leave or forsake us - Heb.13:5. Jesus also promised that He will be with us always – Mat. 28:20. Christian fathers should promise their children that they will be with them, or come whenever required.
I promise to comfort you when you are hurting. God has promised comfort to us whenever needed - 2 Cor. 1:3-4. Christian fathers should make themselves available when their children need a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on, or a supportive hug.
I promise to love you unconditionally. God loved us even while we were still sinners (Rom. 5:8). Christian fathers should regularly tell their children that they will always be loved, regardless of what occurs in their lives.
I promise to listen to you. God is always willing to listen when we pray (Psalm 34:15). Fathers should also be willing to hear what their children have to say. Their words and thoughts should always be considered important.
I promise to forgive you. God is not only willing to forgive sins, He remembers them no more (Jer. 31:34). Likewise, children need to know that their fathers are more than willing to forgive and forget sins when confessed. How can a child believe in God's forgiveness if their own father refuses to forgive?
Fathers, your children will grow up with a greater understanding of God's love if you strive to be more like God yourself. Our god-given children deserve nothing less.
Jesus FIRST!
