Subject: "What is the Spirit saying to you? |
Bible Note: Greetings, Hello Brother Ray! Yes to all of the above. The scriptures that I refer to was Genesis 1:26-31. I have often heard people (Christians) refer to God as "daddy," and at first this seemed alright with me, because Abba, after all means Father. However, this began to trouble me. This was too impersonal, meaning, I honor my earthly father, but my Heavenly Father holds a much higher Honor. So after researching I concluded that Abba is a title [Father] and not a name [daddy]. I went to the Blue letter Bible and searched in the greek (Strong's) and entered #3962. Here I found the info that I needed :) When God created (Produced) man in Genesis 1:27, He also gave every seed-bearing plant (Provider) in Genesis 1:29. God places man in the garden (Sustainer) in Genesis 2:8. We are created in His image, the children we produce, we should provide for and sustain, as God did for man! By saying, "Abba, Father" He is telling us of Himself, The Creator [Producer], in our relationship, through prayer, He is the Father as spoken of in Matthew 6:9. Now my friend, may I ask you, what were you thinking of when you posted this question? Thank you for responding, and continue to be a blessing to others. God bless you! |
