Why do we call God our Father?
Why did Jesus teach us that God is our Father?
As a member of the World Mission Society Church of God,I found the answers by studying the Bible.
1. God Is Our Father
Matthew 6:9“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…’”
Two thousand years ago, Jesus taught His disciples to pray by calling God "Our Father." This showed the relationship between God and us. The Bible also teaches us about our spiritual Father through the example of our physical fathers.
Hebrews 12:9
“Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!”
2. Who Are God's Children?
The existence of a father presupposes the existence of children. Then, who are God's children? The Bible testifies that we are God's children.2 Corinthians 6:17–18
“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
We, who believe in God, are His children.
3. The Heavenly Family Revealed in the Bible
The Bible teaches that the family system on earth is a copy and shadow of the heavenly family.Hebrews 8:5
“They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven...”
Every earthly family consists of a father, a mother, and children. Since the earthly family reflects the heavenly reality, the heavenly family must also exist. Just as children receive physical life through their mothers, the Bible testifies that there is God the Mother, who gives us spiritual life.
Galatians 4:26
“But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.”
The Bible reveals not only God the Father but also our Heavenly Mother, who gives eternal life to God's children.
4. Conclusion
Ultimately, the prayer Jesus taught 2,000 years ago reveals more than that God is our Father. It also shows that there is a Heavenly Mother who gives us spiritual life.Q. Is There Really God the Mother in the Bible?
The Bible testifies that we have God the Mother as well as God the Father.Genesis 1:27
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
Human beings were created in the image of God—both male and female. If the male image of God is called Father, what should we call the female image of God? The answer is revealed in the final book of the Bible.
Revelation 21:9–10
“Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb...”
The Apostle John saw the bride, the heavenly Jerusalem, who is the wife of the Lamb. The Apostle Paul identified this heavenly Jerusalem by saying:
Galatians 4:26
“But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.”
God the Mother exists for sure. If you want to receive eternal life, you have to realize Heavenly Father and Mother and accept Them.

Since 2,000 years ago, God has revealed the existence of God the Mother through the Bible. Among the many churches in the world, the World Mission Society Church of God is the one that believes in God the Mother according to the Bible.
From the beginning, God created mankind in His image as male and female, revealing both God the Father and God the Mother.
The Bible clearly teaches that we have not only God the Father but also our Heavenly Mother.
Galatians 4:26 testifies that the heavenly Jerusalem is our Mother, who gives us spiritual life.
The Spirit and the Bride give the water of life, showing that salvation comes from both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.
Therefore, let us believe in Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother and receive the blessing of eternal life.
By believing in God the Mother, we can have eternal salvation. Let's receive the water of life and salvation from Her!
The Bible clearly tells us that both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother exist.
It also says that in the last days, we must come to the Spirit and the Bride to receive eternal life.
Only the WMSCOG believes in the Spirit and the Bride according to the Bible.
I'm so thankful to God for opening my heart so I could recognize God correctly.
Jesus has taught us God is our heavenly parents. God the Father is expressed "our father in heaven". And God the Mother is expressed "our mother in heaven in the book of Galations.
When Jesus taught us how to pray, He used the expression "Our Father in heaven." It makes me reflect on the meaning of the word "Father."
I found the explanation about the heavenly family especially meaningful. If we are God’s children and the earthly family is a copy of the heavenly family, then it makes sense to study why the Bible speaks of both our Heavenly Father and our Heavenly Mother. Thank you for sharing these verses.
The Bible has testified that not only God the Father, but also God the Mother exists. I sincerely thank you for helping me realize and believe in Mother God. Just as all life is formed by the mother, the life of the soul must exist also a mother of the soul. I hope that all people will believe in Mother God and enter the Kingdom of heaven.
Those who believe in God the Father and God the Mother can be saved and enter the heaven.
The existence of God the Father is evidence of God the Mother. Only by believing in God the Mother can we receive complete salvation.
