God is also the immortal One dwelling in unapproachable light. Concerning this, 1 Timothy 6:16 says, “Who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal might. Amen.” Although the Father dwells in unapproachable light, we not only can approach Him in Christ, but we also can have fellowship with Him.

Hebrews 12:29 says, “Our God is also a consuming fire.” He is a consuming fire in His holiness and severity. God is holy; holiness is His nature. Whatever does not correspond to His holy nature He, as the consuming fire, will consume.

11. Abba Father of the Believers

In His person God is Abba Father of the believers. “Abba” is an Aramaic word, thus a Hebrew word, and “Father” is the translation of the Greek word pater. Such a term was first used by the Lord Jesus in Gethsemane while praying to the Father (Mark 14:36). The combination of the Hebrew title with the Greek expresses a stronger affection in crying to the Father. Such an affectionate cry implies an intimate relationship in life between a genuine son and a begetting father.

The Father is the source of life. This is indicated by the Lord’s word in John 5:26: “The Father has life in Himself.” In the New Testament, especially in the Gospel of John, the Father denotes the source of life. Even in a human family the father is the source of the life of that family. As the father of a family is the very source and origin of life, so the name Father reveals the Father as the source of life.

In this message we shall consider further aspects of God’s person revealed in the New Testament.

9. The Head of Christ

First Corinthians 11:3 says, “I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.” Christ is God’s anointed One, appointed by God. Hence, He is under God, and God as the Originator is His Head. This refers to the relationship between Christ and God in the divine government. In the universe, especially in God’s governmental administration, there is order. God is the Head over Christ, Christ is the Head over every man, and man is the head over the woman.
