We call God, "Father." Jesus told us to begin praying by saying, "Our Father is in Heaven" (Matthew 6:9). Romans 8 tells us we have been given "the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!'" (Romans 8:15). Just as we have been given the right to become children of God because of our faith in Christ, we have been given the right to call God, Father.
Why is this important? Ray Ortlund explain in this short video:
