“I’ll be a Father to you.”
“I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty”. 2 Corinthians 6:18 CEB
What is the most important verse in the Bible? Many people would answer, “John 3:16: God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son.”
However, this verse from Paul’s second letter to the church in Corinth can make a very big claim as well. In a way, the entire plan and purpose of God can be summed up in the words, “I’ll be a Father to you.”
This has been God’s plan ever since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. When that happened, human beings became separated from the Father’s love.
In effect, we became spiritual orphans—no longer able to relate to God as our Father. But thanks to Jesus, all that has changed! Jesus is the answer to our orphan state. He came into this world to die for our sins and adopt us into the Father’s family on earth. Now we can call God “Father” and rest in His arms of love. Jesus is inviting us to respond to these timeless words: “I’ll be a Father to you.”
*PRAYER*
Thank You, God, for Your invitation to know You as Father. With all of my heart I say “Yes,” as I begin this series of devotions. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Good morning.
