I've said it before, but it will bear repetition, Forgiveness is for all people everywhere. God's forgiveness for sin is a free gift and it came in the form of the spotless lamb of God. For God so loved the World that He gave us Jesus. It is in and through Jesus the Christ the only begotten Son of God that we have been reconciled to the Father by having our sin removed as far as east is from west. By acknowledging His free gift, we acknowledge the Giver of Gifts, the Father God. awesome!
As a father of two twenty something, children, I can attest to the 'acknowledgement of the Father' concept. For my children to acknowledge me, is a big deal. I don't take it lightly. Have I always been deserving of their acknowledgement? As their father, yes! As THE FATHER, who is in all and knows all, no! I have certainly made my share of mistakes as a father, as has my own father and his before him and so on. But just as we are to honor our parents (the 5th commandment and the first with a promise attached), God the Father, is also looking for our acknowledgement.
The heavenly Father is ultimately the ONE we are all directed to acknowledge and we do it by honoring His Son whom He gave as a love offering and in accepting Him we are honoring our Father; the Word clearly states that as we honor Him, He in turn will honor us.
Have you honored your father today?
