| Who is the Father? |
He is a spirit, and the God and father of our Lord
Jesus Christ
John 4:23-24
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit
and in truth.
The scripture declares that we are to worship God in spirit and in
truth, not by bowing to statues or other material elements. By worshipping objects we make
them our gods. The true God is a spirit and we can only worship him in truth by way of the
spirit he gives us.

Acts 7:48-50
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as

build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

As the above verses indicate Gods nature is not identical to mans
nature. Gods true nature is: invisible; immortal; all knowing; all seeing, etc.,
whereas man is: visible; mortal; partially knowing and seeing, etc. These few verses
represent only a few of the personal qualities of God the Father and creator of all
things.
