Q9. Can God the Father be described as our Redeemer, as Jesus is?

Picture: Q9. Can God the Father be described as our Redeemer, as Jesus is? JTLD 129.1

Certainly! Every character attribute that describes Jesus Christ also describes the Father. They are one—in character, purpose, and love for the redemption of humanity. JTLD 129.2

Perhaps the most compelling example of God’s longing to be our Redeemer is the miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from the bondage of slavery in Egypt. This redemptive event illustrates the theme of Scripture—God’s desire to deliver us from the slavery of sin and redeem us forever from Satan’s stronghold. In this miraculous deliverance, God the Father and God, the Son cooperate. JTLD 129.3
