Although it is essential to know that God is the Creator, simply knowing Him as Creator is insufficient. That knowledge of God is not a complete or true knowledge, because God has made Himself known as Father through the redemption purchased by Christ. This redemption enables His people to appreciate the power, glory, and love of their heavenly Father. In this lesson, Dr. Reeves explains how Christ’s redemption enables believers to fear God as Father, which reshapes their understanding of who this God is.
