God the Father

[Peter]

Below are over 234 verses that declare God the Father.
Rather than quoting this whole post in response please quote verses of your particular interest.
Just as Christians and Jews are sons of God, with Jesus having the unique role of THE Son of God having been the only son of God in human history that was conceived by a virgin by the will of God, with the article "the" so obviously and frequently making the distinction. http://brotherpete.com/index.php?topic=56.0

Jesus used the word "Abba" to refer to God on numerous occasions. The word "abba" is a very informal word with deep intimate connotations. Jesus instructed his disciples to use such language in prayer. Why? Because Jesus realized that only through a personal relationship with our Creator could we hope to shake off the oppresion of sin as well as religious slavery. Only through a relationship with Jesus does such a relationship with the Father become possible. It all comes back to accepting Jesus on His terms.

God bless
