Father. He is referring to His own uni-
que. ongoing intimate relationship
with God. a relationship that He
allows us 10 share.
if we only think of Goof as our
creator then ourunderstanding is pre -
Christian. God calls to us as a Father
with a purpose for us: a Holy Father
who desires us to he.holy: a righteous
Father who wishes us to be one with
Him.
