Many claim God as Father.
Few examine whether they truly resemble Him.
In If God Were Your Father: Why Resemblance Reveals Relationship, Eld Joel Latimore Jr. confronts one of the most searching statements ever spoken:
"If God were your Father, ye would love me." - John 8:42
This book draws a clear biblical line between two spiritual fathers, two natures, and two eternal inheritances. It exposes the difference between religious language and spiritual reality-between confession and transformation, familiarity and adoption, belief and obedience.
Through careful examination of Scripture, this work addresses:
- The difference between creation and adoption
- Why you cannot have the Father without the Son
- The contrast between the Father of truth and the father of lies
- The danger of claiming freedom while living in bondage
- How love, trust, obedience, and correction reveal true sonship
- Why resemblance-not profession-confirms relationship
God's goodness is extended to all. But covenant Fatherhood belongs to those who receive the Son and are shaped by His likeness.
This book does not exist to comfort empty confession.
