These next 17 focus on His names as being related as a father.
Father.............................Abba
Isaiah 63:16: ...for even you are our father. Even if Avraham were not to know us, and Isra'el were not to acknowledge us, you, ADONAI, are our father....
Matthew 6:8-10: "Don't be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask him. You, therefore, pray like this:
'Our Father in heaven!
May your name be kept holy.
May your kingdom come,
your will be done on earth as in heaven.'"
Romans 8:14-16:
All who are lead by God's Spirit are God's sons. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to bring you back again into fear; on the contrary, you received the Spirit, who makes us sons and by whose power we cry, "Abba!" (that is to say, Father!). The Spirit himself bears witness with our own spirits that we are children of God.
********************************************************************
The relationships we have with our Father is one of intimacy and familiarity, awe and respect, obedience and delight. Our Father loves to hear us call his name. He takes great delight in us and when we are troubled, he will quiet us with his loving arms. What a privilege it is to be a child of God.
