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.
Knowing him as father is important because you will love, respect and also obey our Father, Jesus Christ also refer to God as our Father...great post
The more we know Him as a father,the more we enjoy His gifts even as an obedient children
Ever wondered why it is so hard for us to realize that God is with us? It is because we've abandoned him. If we grow up seeing him as a father, then a father shall he be to us. He is our number one father because he gave us our biological father. Wonderful post
Knowing God as a father brings us closer to God. Because we will know what to do and what not to do, what pleases him and what angers him. Its just basically leaving a life in check when you know God as your father.
Knowing God as a father turns every thing around like a father treats his son he will do to us and we get to communicate more intimately with him.
Thanks @derrick9 for joining the church today and for this wounderful sermon titled:Knowing Him as Father.... Upvoted and resteem

GOD IS A GOOD FATHER
And a good father performs some duties
Let's trust our father
Nice post @derrick9 just as it is very important to know God as a father he also knows us all.
Luke 12:7-8
getting to know God as a father changes everything. It build your confidence in Him. it makes you trust Him at all times no matter what happens. God is our father and we should treat Him as one because He does treat us as sons also
To be a father is nothing! To be a daddy is to be there for your children. That is why Jesus instructed to call Him Abba! Many, in their natural life have never experienced the pure love of their earthly father. Where I am in the Philippines many don’t have a father figure.
He is rhe Father for the fatherless!
It is amazing to see people when the grasp and experience the Love of Abba!
Thanks and God bless!

excellent, it's like that, the more we know him, the more we deepen our roots as his children and we know him as Father ..
When we let God play the role of father to us, then we receive the kind of benefits a child enjoys from his father
