I would say that the two greatest problems among Christians are a lack of understanding their position in Christ and a lack of knowing God as their Father.
They have no family image; therefore they feel cut off from other family members, members of the body of Christ, as well as feeling alienated from God. Our fellowship is made solid only as we renew our thinking about God.
God made us to enjoy Him. It is difficult to always enjoy a teacher, or a lord, or a commander in an army. God is our Father, and we are to enjoy Him forever.
What a comfort to enjoy God like that! I can act as a child and treat Him as a father. I am free to fail, free to speak what is a concern to me, free to be myself, free from fear, free from guilt.
God, through the life, death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ, has adopted you into His family through faith.
- Dan DeHaan, The God you can Know.
