“Heavenly Father, praise You, You love us, You save us by Your grace, You adopted us!”
Our Heavenly Father: Jesus taught us to address God as “Our Father in heaven” or “our Heavenly Father.” [1]
Our Heavenly Father loves us: Jesus enlightened a religious man named Nicodemus with these words, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” [2] “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” [3]
Our Heavenly Father saves us by His grace: “by the grace of God I am what I am.” [4] “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” [5]
Our Heavenly Father adopted us into His family: “When the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, 'Abba, Father!’” [6]
“Heavenly Father, praise You, You love us, You save us by Your grace, You adopted us!”
