Our Father…
We, who are saints by adoption, should address the first person of the Trinity in prayer as “our Father” partly:
- To secure a respectful fear of Him,
- To secure boldness and freedom of speech before Him,
- To express our trustful confidence in Him,
- To express our faithful interest in Him,
- To express our relationship to Him because we have experienced His paternal love and the witnessing of the Spirit of our adoption.
So well said by John Gill of the 1700’s.
