One of the most precious truths of the Christian view of God is that we can call Him 'papa' or 'daddy'. God has not changed from the Old Testament but Jesus introduces a whole new way to relate to Him.
Over and over, Jesus calls God 'abba' and attests the work that he did on earth to the Father. We believe that Jesus is the one and only true son of the heavenly father. However, Jesus has made a way for us to be adopted as the heavenly father;s children. Just as the father loves Jesus, so He loves his adopted children - after all he gave his one and only son for us.
The Father's love is not meant to be a theoretical and celebral truth but an experienced truth. The key to knowing our Father's love is through the Holy Spirit. Allow the Spirit of the Son to cry out in your heart 'abba, daddy, father'.
