Why I want to share about Abba Father ?

This is what I have heard:
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, -Galatians 4:4
to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. -Galatians 4:5

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son. This is what His Son have said :

Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." -John 3:3

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" -John 3:4

Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. -John 3:5

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. -John 3:6

So that which is born of the flesh is born under the law of sin and death, and that which is born of the Spirit is born under the law of Spirit of life.

That is why we have heard:
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. -Romans 8:2

Therefore, this is the grace of God the Father and His goodness toward us whom He has called into His glory and excellencies united in Christ Jesus when we heard:

when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son to redeem those who were under the law of sin and death so that we might receive adoption as sons.

That is how good our Heavenly Father are !
That is how we become His children through Christ Jesus!

Let us acknowledge the goodness of our Heavenly Father who has freed us from sin and death through the shedding blood of His Son.
That is intense love !

Let us love Abba Father, for He first loved us.

Abba Father, the fountain of life.

This is what we have heard:
He ( Abba Father ) did it by means of the mikveh of rebirth and the renewal brought about by the Ruach HaKodesh, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Yeshua the Messiah, our Deliverer. - Titus 3:5-6 CJB

How good is Abba Father, the fountain of life, for what He has done for us.

This is what we have heard about Abba Father :

yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. -1 Corinthians 8:6

Let us come to Abba Father.
This is what we have heard:
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14:6

Don’t we like to come to the Father ? Yes, we who love Jesus love to come to the Father. We will be delighted to come to the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Likewise, we heard :
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. -John 6:44

So how we are come to the Lord when our Lord have said that no one come to Him unless the Father who sent our Lord draws us.

Why our Lord have said what He has said ?
How the Father draws us that we can come to the Son, that through the Son that we can come to the Father ?

Let us understand what our Lord have said :
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14:6

Let us understand our Lord’s way, that is, His ways.

This is what we have heard:
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. -Isaiah 55:8
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. -Isaiah 55:9

Why do the Lord concerns about telling us that our ways are not His ways ?

This is what we have heard:
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. -Psalms 25:8
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way. -Psalms 25:9

So have we realized that we are sinners whom the Lord instruct in the way, that is, Christ ?!

So have we humbled ourselves that He might teach us His way, that is, Christ ?!

How are we going to know that He teach and instruct us ?

Who is the man who fears the LORD? him ( that is us ) will He instruct in the way that he should choose. -Psalms 25:12

So have we feared the Lord ? Have we understood to fear the Lord ?

For our Heavenly Father have spoken in Proverbs 2.
For we heard :
THEN you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. -Proverbs 2:5

That is why the Lord said to us :
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. -Isaiah 55:8
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. -Isaiah 55:9

Unless we meditate His ways and walk in His ways, we will never understand His thoughts.

Haven’t the apostle Paul told us this :
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. -Ephesians 5:1

As children of God ! Don’t we imitate the Father God ? Can’t we imitate the way He thinks ? Shouldn’t we have thoughts like the Lord ?

Have apostle Paul told us this :
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. -Colossians 3:2

Haven’t the Lord spoken this :
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. -Isaiah 55:9

Aren’t His ways are from above ?
Aren’t His thoughts from above ?
And higher than our ways and our thoughts !

So how will we come to the Father ?

So how will we come to the Father ?
This is what we have heard:
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14:6

Jesus is the truth.
Likewise, the Lord have said :
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, -John 8:31
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -John 8:32

We have instructed that :
by abiding in the Lord’s word, the truth will set us free and we will be the Lord’s disciples.

So we will come to the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ, that is, by abiding in His words or meditating His words and we will understand and perceived the truth. When we faithfully abide in His words, we are the Lord’s disciples. And we can come to the Father.

Why without the truth? Can’t we come to the Father ?

This is what we have heard:
For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.' -Matthew 13:15

So unless we repent, our hearts will grow dull. So unless we abide in His words, our ears and eyes can see the truth of His words.

Why the Lord have said that those who see and hear and understand with their hearts— that He would heal ? What the Lord is trying to heal ? Isn’t our relationship with the Father ?

That is why we heard apostle Paul have said :
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. -2 Corinthians 5:20

Isn’t reconciled to God mean to be reconciled to God the Father ? Yes, it is.

So the truth, that is, Christ— be reconciled to God the Father.

When our hearts abide in Christ or His truth ! We can understand and perceived the truth of His love.
