Day 40. What do you mean when you call God “Father”? (2024)

Today is day 40 and we are on the section on the First Article of the Apostles' Creed on God the Father Almighty. Today we are on the second line: “The Father Almighty” and studying question 40.

40. What do you mean when you call God “Father”?

When I call God “Father,” I declare that I was created for relationship with him, that I trust in God as my Protector and Provider, and that I put my hope in God as his child and heir in Christ. (Genesis 1:26–27; Psalms 68:4–6; 103:13–14; Matthew 6:25–34; Romans 8:17–21)

We will conclude today with The Collect for The Fourth Sunday of Epiphany found on page 602 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
