Who is your Real Father?
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Hebrews 12:9,10
As much as we are concerned, we are the Children of God by Christ Jesus, Hallelujah! So this is the time to understand or unveil Who is our real Father ! I don’t mean to degrade our Biological fathers here on Earth, they are our fathers and God’s agents to brought us into this world, but not fully. Jesus taught us how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13, The Very first words is “Our Father Who Art in Heaven”. But sad to say that God is a Father just for those who Believes in Christ Jesus! Because the Bible says which are not in Jesus are children of Devil or Satan!
People Celebrate Father’s Day throughout the World without recognizing Who is their Real Father or Who made them to Become a human being, even among the Believers in Jesus Christ. In Jeremiah 1:5, God said to prophet Jeremiah “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” God choose Jeremiah to become a Prophet, so are we chosen by God Our Father to be someone in this World and to Glorify His Mighty and Holy Name!
We see that the writer of the book of Hebrews recognized God as the Real Father “shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?” 12:9, he says Father of spirits, it simply imply that God is the Source, the Originator or the Creator of all spirits which includes Angels, Demons and Human Spirits. I like the word “shall we not rather be in subjection” to God and not to our Biological fathers. I mean the Most Obedience must be given to God in a contradiction to our Human Fathers, if it is to choose between God and Human.
Let’s go to the Beginning to understand the relation of God and Men, Genesis 1:27 “God created man in his own image”. God made man who is composed of Spirit, Soul and Body he is called Adam which means “Earth, Red Clay” because he was taken out of the Dust. God is the Father and He wants to have fellowship with Adam, God did but it’s not very long time I believe, after Eve came they were tempted by Satan and lost the Father and son relationship. In Luke 3:38 we see that “Adam, which was the son of God.” but that was lost because of Sin, till Jesus, God in Flesh (John 1:14) came and redeemed us from sin, satan and hell. And through Him we are restored our rights to become sons of God (John 1:12,13) and by His Spirit we can call God “Abba, Father” Gal 4:6. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God loves us and send His Only Brgotten Son to save His lost sons, that is Father’s love! Glory to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit !
The writer of Hebrews also said in 12:10 “For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.” God only thinks our benefit or profit, He doesn’t want anything from us, rather He wants to give everything if we obey Him. Not like the human fathers, sometime human fathers made mistakes but God our Father never make mistake ! Amen. We don’t need to degrade our human father but give more attention to God. I remember what Jesus said in Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. To Love God with all our heart, soul and mind, this is it ! that simply mean Love your Heavenly Father more than your earthly father !
Here is some of the encouragement I want to give, God is our Real father, but don’t need to despite our earthly fathers, because if we despite them who can be seen it is the same that we are despising Our Heavenly Father too. Happy Father’s Day and May God bless you!
