    About this ebook

    What would it be like to live with the perfect father—one who is wise, patient, compassionate, playful, generous and always keeps your best interests in mind? This illuminating book, intended for individuals or groups, contains six lessons designed to enrich our understanding of God as loving Father. Each lesson contains a true story that will help you discover the Father’s character and become more closely acquainted with him.

    All that is required for this study is a Bible and an inquiring heart. After you read the questions posed in each lesson, consider recording your response to the questions in a personal journal. As you explore the words of God the Father you will learn about his love for you and what it means to be accepted by him. We trust that as you meditate on the stories, God will, over time, draw you into an even closer relationship with him.

    Author

    ZOE Ministries International

    In 1985, ZOE Ministries International was birthed as a Colorado nonprofit ministry to train and equip people to hear, know and follow God’s voice in all areas of life and ministry. God loves to speak and ZOE Ministries International loves to disciple people to listen for and recognize His voice in an ever-closer relationship with Him—a relationship that ignites passion to serve Him, and that enables responsive believers to impart God’s life and blessing to others in the power of the Holy Spirit. Uniquely, ZOE’s scripturally based courses are designed to fine tune our understanding of God’s plans for us personally and to bring out individual gifts and callings rather than to merely impart information.

      Dedication

      It is with great love that we dedicate this course to Polly Wyant Thomas. Every day, this woman came before the throne of the Almighty King, praying for the staff, board and class members of ZOE Ministries International. Her vision for this ministry went beyond what the normal eye could see. Polly’s tenacity before the throne was awe-inspiring. She was similar to Anna, the New Testament prophetess, who never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.

      We greatly miss our precious Polly and her love for intercession on behalf of ZOE. However, we do know that she is now enjoying the beautiful presence of the Lord she knew so well here on earth. We thank You, Jesus, for giving us Polly!

      Acknowledgments

      ZOE Ministries International equips, trains and sends believers into the world to minister by the leading of the Holy Spirit. This dedicated ministry encourages God’s people to use their gifts and talents in building the body of Christ for His glory. For that purpose, and with the Holy Spirit’s leading, ZOE Ministries compiled this study guide. We wish to thank many faithful individuals for their support, time and talents, and to give our Lord all the praise and glory for this work!

      About This Study

      Who Is God the Father? is Part Two of a three-part study on the Trinity titled Captivated by Their Character.

      Captivated by Their Character is designed to enrich your understanding of who God is—His character, His desires and plans. As you proceed through this Study Guide, you will examine what God says about Himself in the Bible. May God show you some glimpses of Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

      Captivated by Their Character attempts to do the impossible! It tries to explain an invisible, dynamic God, who has revealed Himself to us humans as three persons. Although our finite minds may never fully plumb the depths of the mystery of God’s full identity, we can gather some clues. The three different parts in the study correspond to the three members of the Trinity. We suggest that you proceed
