About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

REALLY GET TO KNOW "OUR FATHER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
REALLY GET TO KNOW "OUR FATHER"
GOD WAS REFERRED TO AS "OUR FATHER" 13 TIMES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. JESUS REFERRED TO GOD AS HIS FATHER OVER 150 TIMES AND HE REFERRED TO GOD AS BEING OUR FATHER 30 TIMES. IT REALLY UPSET THE JEWS WHEN JESUS DID THIS BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE WAS MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD. (JOHN 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal God.)
WE USE THIS TITLE ALL THE TIME THESE DAYS BUT I DON'T THINK WE REALLY KNOW THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT. IT SHOWS WHAT A LOVING GOD WE HAVE FOR HIM TO TELL US TO CALL HIM FATHER. I LIKE WHAT PAUL SAYS WHICH AMPLIFIED THIS BY USING THE TERM "ABBA FATHER" IN ROMANS 8:15 "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." ABBA IS A LOVING TERM USED BY YOUNG CHILDREN THAT MEANT "DADDY". WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD..
JESUS TOLD US TO CALL HIM FATHER IN THE "LORD'S PRAYER". HE IS OUR FATHER AND WE SHOULD BE THAT CLOSE TO HIM. HE LOVES US AND WE ARE HIS KIDS. GET INTO HIS WORD AND LEARN OF HIM AND FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM. HE WANTS TO HAVE A CLOSE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH US AND WE SHOULD WANT THAT WITH HIM. TALK TO HIM TODAY AND TELL HIM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM. I AM SURE HE LIKES TO HEAR IT FROM US. AS A PARENT, I LOVE IT WHEN MY KIDS TELL ME THEY LOVE ME. HOW ABOUT YOU?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
