Whereby we cry, Abba, Father

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” (Romans) It is certainly true fear can make us feel as if we are in a terrible state of bondage. And the antidote to such fear is given in the above verse – it is to acknowledge God as our heavenly, loving Father over all and in us all. I have found it helpful, if ever I am feeling fearful about anything, to cry out the word – “Father” and then to think about what this means, to know His presence and power are with me. To remember that God IS our Father – this truth is an instant connection with the One who loves you and who always takes care of His children. Jesus almost always referred to God as His Father which revealed what a close and tender relationship he had with the Source of all being. As this lesson so beautifully states, we should all claim such a loving relationship with “Our Father which art in heaven.” (Matthew)
    “Then, my heart, in every strait,
    To thy Father come, and wait;
    He will answer every prayer,
    God is present everywhere.” (hymn #341)
