Heavenly fatherliness #5 - Support and loyalty

According to popular wisdom, a good father is supportive and loyal.


You might have heard that Our Father in Heaven will lift us up in our time of need. If that's all there were to it we could probably say that God's getting a thumbs up on this thing, but there's more. The thing is God will only sustain and support you if you're following his wishes and desires (i.e. Commandments). If you're not trying your hardest to do what he wants and being loyal to his standards, he'll make you pay. In this life and the next because the plan is you either do it God's way or you can face the consequences.


Instead of the All-powerful Father supporting his children, he calls on his children to validate and support him. Now what kind of father would act that way?
