Is God someone to be afraid of, or Someone we can learn to love and trust?
The Bible contains stories of extraordinary kindness and mercy, but also stories that leave us with difficult questions about God's character.
How can we know what He is really like?
Jesus gave us the answer. He came to show us what His Father is like (John 14:9). And when we look at how Jesus treated people, we begin to see a God who may be very different from the One we imagined.

Sin began in Heaven when Satan made God look dangerous, selfish, and untrustworthy. Ever since then, God has answered that lie—not by force, not by fear, but by revealing who He really is.
In Jesus, we see the Father’s heart made visible. We see mercy touching lepers, love forgiving sinners, compassion feeding the hungry, tenderness welcoming children, kindness lifting the ashamed, and grace kneeling to wash dirty feet.
Jesus is God showing us God. So if we want to know what God is really like, we do not begin with rumors about Him.
We just look at Jesus.
