Ephesians 3:14-15 For this cause I bow my knees unto the FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole FAMILY in heaven and earth is named
Children don't have any problem believing their parents. Thank God for all the teachings we have heard on faith, how faith comes, how to release our faith, the importance of declaring or speaking God's word. All these are very important. But a very important key to faith, is knowing Him intimately, His person, His true nature and character; Knowing Him as father.
Knowing Him as He truly is; a father, is the key to enjoying all His blessings and provisions;
2 Peter 1:2 May grace (God's favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
The full, personal, precise, and correct knowledge of God I believe is knowing Him as a father. I am very confident of this because that's how Jesus revealed Him. Jesus revealed God as a father, and He(Jesus) is the exact, the Perfect representation of God;
Hebrews 1:2-3 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person.
In His teaching even to the spiritually dead Israel, he taught them to pray; our father who art in heaven. I was just wondering why he did not say our God who art in heaven. It shows that the first place that God wants to occupy in our lives is the place of a father. John 1:12; As many as received Him, he gave power to be , not servants.
Galatians 4:6-7 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Riches of His Grace.
