Qualities of the Everlasting Father

Psalm 103:8 NLT

8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

1. Compassionate

Matthew 11:28–30 NLT

28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Humble and gentle heart defines Jesus

2. Merciful

John 8:9–11 NLT

9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” 11 “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”

As recipients of the Father’s mercy, we should be merciful children.

3. Slow to get angry

Nahum 1:3 NLT

3 The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.

James 1:20 NLT

20 Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.

4. Filled with unfailing love

John 3:16 NLT

16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
