<h1>Who God Is — God Is Your Loving Father</h1>

<article>
<p class="lead dropcap">Knowing who God is brings rest, confidence, and peace to your heart. God is not distant or detached; He is both infinitely great and wonderfully near.</p>

<h2>1. God’s Majestic Greatness and His Nearness to You</h2>

<p>God reigns in unmatched majesty—eternal, infinite, all-wise—yet He bends low to care for His children. His greatness does not keep Him far away-His love is strong and near.</p>

<ul>
<li>He is eternal: His love for you has no beginning and no end. (Isa. 40:28)</li>
<li>He is unchanging: He is the same God on your best days and your hardest days. (Mal. 3:6)</li>
<li>He is all-wise: He sees the path you cannot yet see and leads you with perfect wisdom. (Rom. 11:33)</li>
<li>He is your Creator: The One who formed you knows you completely and cares for you perfectly. (Ps. 139:13–16)</li>
</ul>

<p>His majesty brings comfort, not fear—and His nearness brings assurance, not uncertainty. The God who commands galaxies also holds your heart.</p>

<h2>2. God is Your Father</h2>

<p>Through Christ, God has brought you into His family. He delights in you, cares for you, and loves you with a perfect fatherly love.</p>

<div class="scripture">“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God.”<span class="ref">— 1 John 3:1</span></div>

<h2>3. God is Your Savior</h2>

<p>He rescued you by grace, not by your effort. His mercy is deeper than your sin, and His forgiveness is full and complete.</p>

<div class="scripture">“By grace you have been saved through faith… it is the gift of God.”<span class="ref">— Ephesians 2:8</span></div>

<h2>4. God is Your Shepherd</h2>

<p>He guides your steps, restores your soul, and walks with you through every valley. His care is gentle, patient, and steady.</p>

<div class="scripture">“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”<span class="ref">— Psalm 23:1</span></div>

<p>He rules with wisdom and righteousness. His authority is not heavy—it brings freedom, protection, and justice.</p>

<div class="scripture">“The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all.”<span class="ref">— Psalm 103:19</span></div>

<h2>6. God is Your Refuge</h2>

<p>When fear rises, when life shakes, He is your hiding place and your peace.</p>

<div class="scripture">“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”<span class="ref">— Psalm 46:1</span></div>

<h2>7. God is Your Provider</h2>

<p>He knows your needs before you speak them. He cares for you, your heart, your spirit, and your future.</p>

<div class="scripture">“My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”<span class="ref">— Philippians 4:19</span></div>

<h2>8. God is Your Defender</h2>

<p>He guards your soul, stands against the enemy, strengthens your faith, and intercedes for you in heaven.</p>

<div class="scripture">“The Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you from the evil one.”<span class="ref">— 2 Thessalonians 3:3</span></div>

<h2>9. God is Your Friend</h2>

<p>He is near, compassionate, and faithful. In Christ, He calls you friend—not servant.</p>

<div class="scripture">“I have called you friends.”<span class="ref">— John 15:15</span></div>

<h2>10. God is Your Source of Identity</h2>

<p>You are not defined by your past or by people’s opinions. You are defined by the God who claims you as His own.</p>

<div class="scripture">“You are a chosen race… God’s own possession.”<span class="ref">— 1 Peter 2:9</span></div>

<p>Your future is held secure in His hands. Nothing can separate you from His love or overturn His good purposes for your life.</p>

<div class="scripture">“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”<span class="ref">— Hebrews 6:19</span></div>

<h2>Summary</h2>

<p>God is both majestic and near—infinitely great and intimately involved. His eternal power protects you, His wisdom guides you, His presence comforts you, and His love holds you. His goodness shapes every part of your life and always leads you in what is best.</p>
