God Will Never Abandon You | Pastor Lee Cummings

Pastor Lee Cummings reminds us of the greatest revelation that Jesus gave us–to know and understand that God relates to us as our Father. He is the ultimate, perfect, consistent, and available Father who covers us in times of vulnerability. Therefore, we can confidently say “the Lord is my helper. What can man do to me?”

Jesus declares himself as the way, the truth, and the life, emphasizing the exclusivity of the path to the Father through him.

It's a game changing understanding when you grasp the idea that God is our heavenly father.

It's very important that we know God as father, it's not a secondary issue.

When God is your father, your vulnerability is protected.

Your vulnerability is protected, and this is key because the definition of vulnerability is the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed either physically or emotionally.

The image of God as a father coming home and wanting to spend time with his children in the garden highlights the intimate and personal relationship God desires with us.

Jesus's sacrifice and vulnerability on the cross allowed us to be covered by his blood and sacrifice, and be made whole, fulfilling his role as the way, the truth, and the life.

Only God can cover your shame, guilt, and fear.

Only God can truly provide redemption and cover us from guilt, shame, and emotional brokenness.

The role of God in healing shame, guilt, and trauma is powerful and transformative.

God's promise to never leave or forsake us is one of the greatest promises he gives to us.

God's promise of never leaving or forsaking us is repeated 10 times in the Bible, symbolizing perfection and completeness.
