scriptures Teach of Heavenly Father

Throughout the ages, prophets have revealed truths about the nature of God. As we diligently study their testimonies in scriptures, we can learn about Heavenly Father’s attributes and increase our faith and testimonies. The better we understand the nature of our Heavenly Father, the better we understand our own divine potential as His spirit children.

Responsive & Interactive

List on the board some truths they know about God. How did we learn those truths? We learn about Heavenly Father as we read the scriptures. Write some examples on the board. 

Clearer understanding

read individually the entry “God” in the Bible Dictionary and write down one thing they learn about God the Father
from what they read. Look up related scriptures referenced in the entry.

​When everyone is finished, invite each class member to find someone in the class who wrote something different, and ask them to share with each other what they learned (including any scriptures they found). 

Wider Scope

Why are the scriptures important in helping us understand God? Select a chapter or passage from the scriptures, and demonstrate how we can learn about Heavenly Father. 

Suggest the following passages: 
Isaiah 55; 2 Nephi 26:23–33; Mosiah 2:19–25; Doctrine and Covenants 1:17–39.

Tablet Ready

Ask the youth to share what they learned today. What feelings or impressions do they have? Do they understand how studying the scriptures can help them learn about a loving Heavenly Father? ​

Put the scriptures to the test.
