...the adoption as sons.  And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba Father!"

Our earthly fathers can bring to our minds pictures and thoughts of love, respect and acceptance, or for some, thoughts of fear, anger, rejection or abandonment. That is why it is important not to take your understanding of your Heavenly Father from your experience. No earthly father is perfect, but God our Heavenly Father is.

The key to our Christian life is not to understand the Bible based on our experiences, but to understand our experiences based on the Bible.

Our Heavenly Father was willing to pay any price to save us from hell.

2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

God the Father loves you and wants you to be part of His family. 

Romans 8:14-15, says, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father,"

Our Heavenly Father has adopted you as His very own child through salvation in Jesus Christ.

"Abba" Father loves you.
