The Mystery of the Word “Abba Father”

Here's something about "Abba Father" we need to know.

 

It's twice mentioned by Paul.

 

(Romans 8:15 KJV)
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, ABBA, FATHER.

 

And

 (Galatians 4:6 KJV)
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

 

Abba Father…

 

Now in the mouth of TWO witnesses, every word shall be established (John 8:17, Deut 17:6, Deut 19:15, 2Cor 13:1)

 

So God is saying, take note, this concept is TRUE: ONLY SONS have the capacity to cry "Abba Father".

 

In other words, you cannot cry "Abba Father" except you are a Son.

 I simply call it, "the language of sons" which non-sons cannot speak or learn to speak. No one ever learns it: it's the SPIRIT that you simply receive.

 

So if you can cry "Abba Father" and it will be accepted by the Father (because anyone can mention it), you must be a son. Correct?
Good.

 

Isn't it amazing that before the Epistles/Acts, (that is, before Jesus' death and resurrection), only one occurrence of "Abba Father" is seen in the Bible?

 

And Guess who said it?

Jesus

 

And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said...
..ABBA, FATHER…

(Mark 14:35-36 KJV)

 

 

Only Jesus at this time was recorded to speak the language of sons. No other record.
It was "scarcely heard".

So is it ok to sing at this time, "Jesus na (is) the only Son of God o… eh o…"?

It is.

Jesus was the only one who could cry "Abba Father".

 

But in the post-Gospels, Paul says we (believers) ALL have now received the spirit of son and now we do cry "Abba Father"

 

We thus must be sons of God in the class of Jesus. We speak the language of sons just like Jesus speak. The Father listens and attends to us like He does to Jesus. We are sons with Jesus. We are God's family! We are nigh now! He's our Father now!

 

When next you pray, say "Abba Father..." And He'll answer "my son".
Oh what a glory! Will you cry now? Shout it loud! "Abba, Father"

 

What a honour we have today to call the God of the universe by a personal filial appellation, and we will be right! You can never be too thankful for the price Jesus paid. Will we ever comprehend to the fullest what we have in redemption?

 

Righteousness in simple terms

Righteousness...Psalm 14:3, 53:3, Rom 3:10 all say 

there is none righteous. Not one.
Rom 3:23 says all have sinned and come short of
the glory of God.
Isaiah 64:6 also says, ...all our righteousness are as
filthy rags.
What does all these mean?
It all started in the beginning. God said in Gen 1:26-
Let us make man in our own image and after our
likeness. This is God speaking to himself declaring
his intention to make man.
Gen 1:27- God created man in his image and
likeness. If God created man like this, then man can
stand before God without feeling guilty or inferior.
This is righteousness.

Two Kinds of Righteousness Every Human Being Must Know

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. (Romans 10:1-3 KJV)

There are two kinds of righteousness every human being must be aware of. It is a must because failure to know this is highly catastrophic both in this world and in that to come. For they being ignorant of… and beating about the bush in fruitless effort to establish… Friend, do not be ignorant. After Job had been through hell and was yet undelivered, God responded to his foolish words. Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who [is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? (Job 38:1-2 KJV). So the Proverbs writer said: "Also, [that] the soul [be] without knowledge, [it is] not good;" (Proverbs 19:2 KJV). So every human being must know this: believers and unbelievers alike. Did God not say: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6 KJV)?

What is Righteousness?

Why the Incarnation of Jesus?

Why the Incarnation? Why must God become a man?

Incarnation means the living embodiment of a deity. It is how God became man in the person of Jesus Christ.


The Incarnation is factual, real and true.

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called THE SON OF GOD. (Luke 1:35 KJV)

Two things you must know:

1. Jesus is God
2. Jesus is a man
