THE LORD OUR MAKER AND OUR FATHER
God is our maker in that He made the bodies of our progenitor out of clay and He made the human soul. It was into this construction that God breathed that made Adam a living being.
Whereas God made us all in our corporeal and soulish selves, our spirits come from Him and He is thus the Father of our spirits.
As the bible says; Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! - Hebrews 12 verse 9
Before we are born again, with our spirit selves dead in sin, we are not able to approach God as Father because we are only alive in body and soul which is the "made" part of us. We can only correctly call God, "our maker".
However, when we are born again, our spirits are made alive and now we are able to call God, "Abba, Father".
As it says in scripture ; The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” - Romans 8 verse 15
We who are believers in Jesus are able to call our God, "Our maker and our Father".
How wonderful He is.
Amen.
