Abba Father

Elohim: God of Power and Might
Yahweh: The Great “I Am”
El Elyon: God Most High
El Shaddai: God Almighty
Jehovah Sabaoth: The Lord of Hosts

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.” Romans 8:15

Abba: “Daddy”
-Denotes a sense of closeness, caring and personal relationship

Attributes of The Father’s Love
1. The Father’s Love is Always Given to Us First!
…that while we were still sinners, God loved us!” Romans 5:8

  • “Never qualify your love for others by their actions or behaviors”

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1
2. The Father’s Love Makes Us Children of God!
“To those who have received Him, He has given the right to become God’s children.” John 1:12-13

  1. The Father’s Love Makes Us Different!
    -We are “Kingdom” people, before we are “Earthly” people.
    16 This is how we have discovered love’s reality: Jesus sacrificed his life for us. Because of this great love, we should be willing to lay down our lives for one another. 17 If anyone sees a fellow believer in need and has the means to help him, yet shows no pity and closes his heart against him, how is it even possible that God’s love lives in him? 18 Beloved children, our love can’t be an abstract theory we only talk about, but a way of life demonstrated through our loving deeds. 19 We know that the truth lives within us because we demonstrate love in action, which will reassure our hearts in his presence. 1 John 3:16-19 TPT
