Most Christians just call God “Father.” Why do they think that God is male?
Life is always given both sexes — male and female, and this shows the Providence of God. The Bible says that God’s eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen and understood from what has been made and that all things were created by God’s will.
The birds flying in the sky have their fathers and mothers. The fishes in the waters have their fathers and mothers. The animals on the earth have their fathers and mothers. What about God’s children? They have their heavenly Father and Mother, don’t they?
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20)
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being” (Revelation 4:11).
Through the fathers and mothers of all living things, it is understood that there exist the spiritual Father and Mother. God’s children have not only their Father but also their Mother. Earthly family system is a copy and shadow of the heavenly family’s. As an earthly family is composed of physical parents (father and mother) and children (brothers and sisters), so the heavenly family consists of spiritual Parents (Father and Mother) and children (brothers and sisters).
