Q: Is God the Mother in the Bible?
A: Numerous people around the world believe in God the Father. However, only the World Mission Society Church of God acknowledges both God the Father and God the Mother. Some may wonder if God the Mother, the female image of God, is in the Bible.
In fact, God the Mother is present in the Bible. She is revealed alongside God the Father at the beginning of Their creation work (Gen 1:26–27). They also appear at the end of Revelation as the Spirit and the Bride (Rev 22:17). Additionally, Apostle Paul testified about God the Mother (Gal 4:26).
The unfamiliarity with God the Mother stems from not following the New Covenant. The Bible prophesied that those who practice the New Covenant would fully understand God.
“‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will make a new covenant ... I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, “Know the Lord,” because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,’ declares the Lord.’”
Jeremiah prophesied about the days when a group of people will no longer need to teach who God is. This group refers to those who keep the New Covenant. This New Covenant encompasses God’s laws and feasts, like the Sabbath Day and the Passover.
The World Mission Society Church of God is the only church practicing the New Covenant, which is why it recognizes the existence of God the Mother in the Bible.
