In the Lord’s Prayer (Our Father), we realize how great He is to us, that God is a Father to us all, and that we can place everything in His hands.
He is not a temporary father, but He is our eternal Father, because He is there forever, and together with Him, His mercy and His goodness will always be there for us.
He loves us all equally, He does not want any of us to be lost, His love for us is so great that He gave His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
And in this, we all have to recognize the great love that God has for us, the immense love, the true love that God has for us every day, a love that does not grow weary, a love that grows, a love filled with joy and peace, a true love of a Father for His children.
Christ Jesus taught us the Lord’s Prayer to remind us all that we have a Father, and that just as He is a Father to Jesus Christ, He is a Father to us too, and we all have the same right to approach God as Father; we can all come close to Him through Christ Jesus, because Jesus Himself said: I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.
Those are strong and powerful words, faithful and true words, in which everyone must recognize that whoever has the Son has the Father.
Even more so when it is written in John 3:36, which says the following: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
As fathers, we have the duty and mandate from God to love and care for our children, to dedicate time to our children, to guide our children in the way of God, to be a true mentor to our children, and to bear witness with our own lives to our children on how to live.
Because whoever believes in Christ Jesus will be saved and will not be put to shame; that is what we must sow in our children in these difficult times, that in Christ Jesus there is no loss.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).
See what great love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God, and that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. (1 John 3:1).
We love because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19).
The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 — Note: The text cites 3:19, but this verse is 3:9).
If we remain stuck in the worldly system of religion, a person can never understand the true love of the Lord, because in the first place, God shows no partiality. He said that everyone who recognizes Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior will have eternal life.
That is also why it is written what will happen to those who do not want to recognize God in Romans 1:28-32, and also in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12.
God’s love for us is great, and indeed it is infinite and incomparable.
