Knowing the Father God

Most of the time when we relate to God, we relate to Jesus Christ. Very less we concentrate on the Father God and sometimes on the Holy Spirit. All the three people in the trinity are important which we know but seldom reflect on them equally. It is no way wrong to pray to Jesus and to move in a much closer relationship with Him. We need to also direct our hearts to know deeply the other two people of the trinity, namely God the Father and the Holy Spirit of God. Whether we realize or not, all the three persons of the trinity are deeply involved in our lives.

The Holy Spirit of God, our life coach, is the one who opens our eyes to the truth. He guides us, leads us, sanctifies us and also helps us in times of trouble. Our Lord, the good shepherd too is interceding for us 24/7 with the father and is deeply involved in every aspect of our life and being. And to think of the Father, if we were to think of Him as a God of the Old Testament exhibiting His power, anger and sovereignty we are badly mistaken.

We need to look at the scriptures of both New and Old Testament to know the passionate love of God the Father for us.

The Word of God says in

Ephesians 1:5 (NASB)

He predestined us to adoptions as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,

And when did God choose us?

Ephesians 1:4 (NASB)

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love

If we are to reflect ourselves with the parable of the prodigal son, where we are the prodigal son or the daughter. And imagine the Father in the story as God the Father, then we are sure to see the above scripture in the awe of His love for us... Won't we?
