FATHER: Our Testimony of Who the Father Is To Me
What is your testimony of your heavenly FATHER?
Christ’s TESTIMONY of The Father is so that we may believe.
Joh 19:35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.
Christ’s Utmost DEPENDENCY Upon The Father to show us the way to a Father-Son relationship
Joh 5:19-20
(19) “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
(20) For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
Christ’s WITNESS of the Father & The Father of Him. They are One. (Joh 17)
Joh 8:18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”
INTIMACY;
The Father is the One to whom we pray in our inner chamber, in an intimate relation where He have called us to come & COMMUNE with Him.
We are encouraged to regularly VISIT with our heavenly Father from a place of trust, utmost believe & hope on Him; in His GOODNESS & FAITHFULNESS to us in every circumstance.
Mat 6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
HE KNOWNS US;
He is the One that knows our every need. I can be myself in your presence. You see deep into my heart.
Mat 6:8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
HEARTS;
Our Father is not interested in our show before man but look deep & intently into our hearts; our innermost thoughts & intentions
Mat 6:18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly
FORGIVE;
As we forgive the Father forgives us. This is how He bestows Christ’s total redemption & righteousness upon us. There is no other way. You are a loving & forgiving Father.
Mat 6:15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
REVELATION;
He is the One that reveals His hidden secrets to those who come to Him in humility, lowliness of mind & of worldly esteem, uprightness of heart; trusting Him as a child.
Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.
WORSHIP;
The Father is the one to whom all my true worship, thanksgiving & praise belong!
Joh 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
KINGS & PRIESTS;
Rev 1:6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
OVERCOMERS;
through the Son’s confession of me before the Father.
Rev 3:5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
Rev 3:21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
🔥These points here above may seem very simple, elementary and things that we have known for a long time.
Yet, if is not embedded as foundational in our innermost being through faith we may fail to secure our relationship with the Father through Christ’s righteousness before the Father and to daily live by it unto His glory alone.
