Our Father In Heaven

Our Father which art in heaven, (Matthew 6:9 KJV)

Our Father in heaven. Before we can pray, we must have someone to pray to. We must have a relationship with this someone. Jesus told us that this person is God. We must have a paternal relationship with Him. If He is not our Father in heaven, we cannot even start praying. How can we get God as our Father? We cannot. Our iniquities have separated us from God and He will not hear us (Isaiah 59:2). But what we cannot do, God can. He came to seek us.

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (Galatians 4:4-5 KJV)

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10 KJV)

We can only come to the Father through the Son.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6 KJV)
