FAMILY THEME: GOD IS THE FATHER

John 17:1-26

God is our perfect Father Who desires to have a personal relationship

with us as His children and calls on us to share Him with others.

1.  God Is the Ideal Father

     (Romans 8:15-17)

     Paul described Christ's redemptive work as a means of adoption

     whereby believers are now children and heirs of God.

 
2.  The Father and Jesus Illustrate the Ideal Relationship of Father

      and Son

     (John 17:1-26)

     Jesus loves and submits to the Father and the work the Father

      has for Him to do.

 
3.  We Can Be Part of the Father's Family Through Faith in His Son

     Jesus Christ

     (I John 3:1-3)

     We are now God's children because we have put our hope in

     His Son.
