God is the Father. And Father is generally understood as the begetter, the generator of life (Prv.23:22, Lv.18:11). God is the creator of all men in his own image and we are called the “offspring of God” (Acts17:26-9). He is the “Father of spirits” (Heb.12:9) “the God of the spirits of all flesh” (Num.16:22). “Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?” (Mal.2:10) The first man Adam likewise was called the son of God (Lk.3:38, 1 Cor.15:45-7) In this also the heavenly hosts are ‘sons of God’ (Job 1:6,2:1, 38:7) But next God is the Father of the nation of Israel. “When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.” (Ho.11:1) Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn (Ex.4:22). Moses reminded Israel “is not he thy father” “the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. (Dt.32:6, 18) Again, David- Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. (1 Chr.29:10) So also Isaiah “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.” (64:8). Jesus reminded the Jews that their Father who was in heaven (Mt.6:1,9) would supply their needs according to his covenant with them in contrast to the Gentiles- “(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things”(Mt.6:32).

1 Cor.8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 2 Cor.1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Gal.1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) Eph.1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (4:6) One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Phil.2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Omniscience-
Psa.147:5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. Job 37:16 … the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? Ezk.11:5… Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them. Isa.48:5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee… Prv.15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Isa.46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Eph.1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: Rom.11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Omnipotence-
Job 42:2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible. Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Rev. 19:6 Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Psalm 115:3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Omnipresence-
Psa.139:8-10 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; Psa.90:1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Isa.57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity… Jer.23:23-4 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
