Ephesians 1:3 – “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,”
The title “Father” is a distinguishing feature in the New Testament in the teaching of Jesus, especially in the Gospel of John. He reveals Jehovah God as Father. He is not the Father of all men, but only those who come to Him through Jesus Christ. “No one comes to the Father but through Me”. There is a distinction between God as our Creator and as Father to the believer.
God the Father loves us just as much as He loves His Son, Jesus Christ. Since that is a true statement can we ever have another anxious thought or rebellious attitude toward Him? Because our heavenly Father loves us with such love as He has for His Son He will not let us want for anything good in His divine will. He will take care of us in the very best possible manner. It is absolutely safe to put our trust in a perfect Father.
Am I willing to trust all my cares to my heavenly Father? Why should I want to hold on to my fears, anxiety, and selfish cares when He is fully aware of all my most profound needs? He is ready to meet them in the very best way possible. One of the great needs we have is for security. The believer in Jesus Christ is eternally secure because there is a divine double grip around the believer.
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
