I Will Be A Father To You...

in #blog7 years ago

Hi everyone, most people believe God being our Father simply means He is our progenitor. This is not incorrect but incomplete. The Greek word translated as Father is ‘pater’; it means more than being the progenitor or offspring but one who governs the mind of another by infusing his spirit into the mind of the other. A father is one who influences the mind of another to the point of redefining who that person is.

"...And will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, said the Lord Almighty." [2 Corinthians 6:18]

"I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men..." [2 Samuel 7:14]

La plupart des gens croient que Dieu étant notre Père signifie simplement qu'il est notre progéniteur. Ce n'est pas incorrect mais incomplet. Le mot grec traduit en tant que père est «pater»; Cela signifie plus qu'être progéniteur ou progéniture, c'est celui qui gouverne l'esprit d'un autre en infusant son Esprit dans l'esprit de l'autre. Un père est celui qui influence l'esprit de l'autre au point de redéfinir qui est cette personne.

"... Et je serai un Père pour vous, et vous serez mes fils et mes filles, a dit le Seigneur Tout-Puissant". [2 Corinthiens 6:18]

"Je serai un père pour lui et il sera un fils pour moi, quand il commettra l'iniquité, je le corrigerai avec la verge des hommes et les coups des fils des hommes ..." [2 Samuel 7:14]

I agree that we are not automatic children.of God. We have to work hard to win God's favour. We have all sinned came short of God's glory. God has set conditions.for those who want to be his children.

Why do you believe that @mhangami

Adam and Eve caused us not to be automatic inheritor of God.

read Romans 5:10-17

Thanks to Jesus who sacrificed himself for us to follow his will.

He is good...

They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

John 6:28-29
