The best name by which we can think of God!
(Martin Luther)
(Martin Luther)
"This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in Heaven . . . " Matthew 6:9
The best name by which we can think of God is Father. It is a loving, deep, sweet, heart-touching name, for the name of Father is in its nature, full of inborn sweetness and comfort.
Therefore, also, we must confess ourselves to be His children — for by this name we deeply touch our God, since there is not a sweeter sound to the father than the voice of the child.
"He shall cry to Me: You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!" Psalm 89:26
