What does this all mean to us?

Let's go back to our original question that Jehoshaphat asked in his prayer, "Are you not..." and then  restate the four principle truths he displayed in his prayer that everyone could hear - God's sovereignity, holiness, omniscience, and immutability.

What does this all mean to us?

If we were to look at the Hebrew, Greek and Roman community, each of these truths have some sort of relationship to them. God’s holiness transcended any Hebrew morality, God’s omniscience transcended Greece’s quest for knowing, and God’s sovereignty transcended any Roman glory.

Okay, that has nothing to do really with our cry to know God.

These four principle truths explain a role that God plays in our lives today that possibly resemble a father. When God is seen as our Holy Father, sovereignty, holiness, omniscience, and immutability do not terrify us; they leave us full of awe and gratitude. This is how we look at the four principle truths through the eyes of a loving Father - -

          –Sovereignty is only tyrannical if it is unbounded by goodness;
          –Holiness is only terrifying if it is untempered by grace;
          –Omniscience is only taunting if it is unaccompanied by mercy
          –Immutability is only torturous if there is no guarantee of goodwill

Who is God?
         The children of God called Him “Holy Father.” Now we, when we are born of the Spirit, have His imprint upon us, and we too, by His grace and by the redemption of His Son can boldly call Him Father. No other religious faith that I know of calls Him Father.

“Are you not the God who is in heaven?” – He is our Holy Father
