“Abba” Moves Us From Concept to Experience
Many Christians understand intellectually that “God is love.” They believe it, affirm it, and preach it. But it is “Abba” that transforms that belief into personal experience.
Saying, “God loves the world,” is one thing; saying— deeply, honestly, and personally—“The Father loves me” is another.
This is the Spirit’s work.
He transforms the universal truth into a personal reality. Each time your heart whispers “Father,” each time you sense His closeness, each time you are drawn to prayer, and each time peace settles over your soul— the Spirit is revealing to you the meaning of “Abba.”
