Just as we would call out to our parents or loving guardian we belong to the King of Kings and can request Him. A majestic ruler bends down to better see and hear His child. We are “in”, we belong, we are loved. For those who accept the son they are free indeed.
Romans 8:15 New Living Translation So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
Galatians 4:6 New Living Translation And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”
Mark 14:36 New International Version “Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
Abba Means Daddy
ADAPTED into perfect family/ ADOPTED by loving Royalty. Not simply of parental desire or accident. We are picked. Hand chosen. Wanted past, present, future, and even in our moments of mistake. When we accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ in our lives we are forgiven and The Father of the universe is then as familiar and closer than a daddy.
Even if your earthly father was disappointing our Heavenly Father is faithful.
Psalm 27:10 New Living Translation Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.
My scientifically based parenting books describe a childs willingness to obey comes from relationship or fear. God is not a mean tyrant waiting for us to mess up but a loving parent staying close to watch, redirect if needed, and scoop up if little ones should fall.
Not spirit of fear but the best loving parent… we can call out to Him anytime… Abba!
Child Of Abba
