names of God: Father of Mercies

names of God: Father of Mercies by ric gustafson


II Corinthians 1:3- ' Blessed be God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of Mercies and the God of all comfort'.



This name refers to God the Father. Father of Mercies in Hebrew is Avi HaRachamim. Paul begins this letter to the Corinthians by praising God. Names limit the Creator and he is so much more than that. Father in Hebrew is Avi and mercy or compassion is Rachamim. God protects us and also urges us to be better than we think we are. God who is the Father of Mercies loves us more than anything else and always will.
