God is love.= =Ps. 106:1. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.= =Ps. 103:13. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.= =Isa. 6:3. Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: all the earth is full of his glory.= =Num. 23:19.

CONCERNING CREATION. =I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.= _That is_, I believe that God has made me and all other creatures; that He has given me body and soul, eyes, ears, and all other members, my reason, and all my senses. I also believe that He preserves all He has made, and that He daily provides me with all I need; giving me clothing and food, home and family, and every good thing. I further believe that He protects me from all danger, and keeps me from all evil; not because I have deserved it, but because He is a loving and merciful Father. For all these blessings it is my duty to serve Him thankfully and obediently all the days of my life. All this is certainly true. _123. What do you mean when you say, "I believe in God the Father"?_ I believe that God is the Father of Jesus Christ, and my Father; and I surrender myself to Him, trusting with all my heart in His grace and love. _124.

He spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.= _125. Does God yet care for what He has made?_ Yes; by His watchful care He preserves and governs all things. _126. How does God preserve all things?_ He lets all things continue as long as He thinks well, and He cares like a father for all His creatures. =Gen. 8:22. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.=
