The term “Abba” is the defining term for dear father in the Aramaic language, spoken by

Jesus and Paul. It is an intimate term to characterize their personal relationships with

God.

Jesus is the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16). Therefore, only the Lord Jesus, by

nature, can call God “Abba.” Jesus is begotten of God, not made.

The character of Abba-Father is to relentlessly pursue His children in order to establish

a deep and intimate relationship with each and every one of them. His desire is to bridge

every gap or chasm between Him and each of us; to know each person completely and

love you unconditionally.

Viewing God as your Heavenly Father and believing that He invites you to a life of intimate

relationship or union with Him, is a distinctive privilege of the Christian faith. The

other faiths believe that God is too Holy and powerful to be approached or related with in

a filial manner.
