       And these wreck-of-a-fathers can exist inside the church walls also, especially in legalistic churches. The good news today is that God isn’t like this as our Father. He’s the nice, cool Dad you saw other’s had. He’s the Father you wished your dad acted like when you were a child. That’s God. A good father-child relationship then is one that is based on closeness, kindness, trust, and one of which there is a lack of fear, a lack of slavery to fear. Yes, you may fear your dad in that you revere him, but you really shouldn’t fear your dad in that your afraid he might do something to you, or against you. Let us bring to mind what Paul told the Ephesians: “we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him [that is, Christ Jesus our Lord]” (Ephesians 3:12, ESV). We can be bold before God, just as a child. If there is something we want or want done for us, we can tell God plainly.
