The Significance of Addressing God as Father

Jesus frequently addressed God as 'my Father,' but in the Lord's Prayer, he pluralizes it to 'our Father,' implying a communal relationship with God. This use of 'Father' to address God is rooted in the Hebrew Bible, where God is compared to or called our Father in passages such as Moses' description in Deuteronomy and Isaiah's prayer of penitence. This shift emphasizes a unique status that Jesus believed he had as the chosen one, the Son of the Father, and extends this identity to his followers. Calling God 'our Father' is a powerful reminder that believers are treasured inheritors of God's kingdom.
