Names of God: Abba

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Romans 8 (Matthew 5:16, 45 & 48; 6:9; Isaiah 9:6; 64:8; Psalms 89:26; 103:13; Jeremiah 31:9; John 5:43; 8:44; 10:30; 14:6; 16:32; 17:5; Ephesians 2:13 & 18; Luke 2:49; Galatians 4:4-7; Romans 8:1, 14-16 & 35; 1 John 3:1)

 

Out of all the names for God that we use today, Father is one of the most common. It is so common to us that we almost lose sight of what made this name so significant.

All of the names we have studied so far have been from the Old Testament. This is the first name of God that introduces the God of the Old Testament to the theme of the New Testament. It is a powerful name that ties our hearts to the heart of God.

 

Bible study description:

Knowing someone's name is the very start of getting to know someone. It is what we use to call out to someone to get their attention. It is how we identify someone. 

Our God has many names. Each name of God reveals to us His character, His nature, and His attributes. Knowing His names brings us into a deeper relationship with Him because it allows us to know Him on a deeper level.

When we know His names, we can then call out to Him using His names. There is a reason that our God has so many names...there is power in the name of our God! Do you know our God by His names?
