A. “Since you call on the Father” – is the sense of the Greek. It is natural for a Christian to cry out to His Father. All men have God as their Creator – to Christians He is our Father.
B. Earthly Fathers God reveals Himself to us as Father to tell us more about Himself. God ordained the family for practical reasons, and to teach us more about Himself. Human Fathers are to look to God as a Role model in caring for their children.
II. Our Father is also the Impartial Judge
A. A Judge in Biblical Times brings at least 4 thoughts to mind:
1. The Judge is a person with authority -- Daniel 4:34-36
2. The Judge is a person identified with what is good and right
3. The Judge is a person of wisdom, to discern truth
4. The Judge is a person of power, to execute sentence

“ Great Sermon! ” I love this sermon I've listened to it three times. There is so much wisdom coming from this lesson and so much good information about God our Father. I have never before thought grief, over our sins, could be a disciple. I've never heard anyone say that we stand before our heavenly Father as our judge everyday, although I've believed it. We do go to the judgement seat everyday and nothing is hid from His sight. It's there that God's sanctifying work is best done, as we confess and repent. See 1 Peter 4:16-18 and John 5:24,25. There are just too many good things to comment on, you'll have to hear it for yourself. Great Sermon! My Father IS God! Amazing!
