Grace for you today !
Beholding Jesus is Knowing the Father!
“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.” I John 3:1-NKJV
“For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”?”
Hebrews 1:5 NKJV
Angels are far superior in strength and glory than human beings, yet none of the them can call God as their Father, even though they are called as ‘sons of God’ in certain places such as in Job 1:6. They are created beings & God to them is known as Elohim, the Creator.
Even Adam could not call God as his Father. To him, God was the LORD God which means Jehovah Elohim. This is because he was a created being, created in the image of Him and after His likeness (Genesis 1:26). Elohim is Jehovah to human race that made covenant with God to worship Him alone. This was carried on by the children of Israel who called their God as JEHOVAH.
However, when the Lord Jesus Christ came, God sent Him as His Own Son – the Only Begotten One. This Jesus for the first time in human history and in the history of all created beings addressed God as His Father and preached and declared to all sinners that from now on this God , the Almighty One is our Father too. For this Jesus paid the heaviest price to take away our sins by shedding His own blood .
Every one who has accepted Jesus as his / her own Lord and Saviour is grafted into the family of God and God is his/her own Father because of the precious Blood of Jesus.
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God! Hallelujah! Today we have God as our Father-Abba Father ! Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
