Maybe you have heard, some of your friends and family member call God Father and you don’t know why should there call God, Father. Addressing the living God when praying is another way of how quickly you want your prayers to be answered.

We have many names in the word of God, that is been used to address the Living God.

Examples are;

  1. Elohim Chayim—He is the Living God. (Joshua 3:10),
  2. Jehovah-Jireh—the Lord will provide. (Genesis 22:9-12; 13-14)
  3. Jehovah-shalom—the Lord is Peace. (Judges 6:22-24)
  4. El Elyon= He is your Sovereign or God Most High. El Elyon is first used in Gen 14:18.
  5. El Kanna—The Jealous God. (Exodus 34:14) / (Exodus 20:5)
  6. Jehovah Nissi—He is my banner.

All this name are used to address the Living God.

Now when Our Lord Jesus Christ came to us on this earth he also addressed the Living God, by calling him Our Father in Heaven or Father.

Why did our Lord Jesus Christ address Almighty God as Father instead of God or any of the names in the Word of God {old testament}?

Almighty God is good and great God and always will be.

Matthew 3:17 English Standard Version (ESV)

and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son,[a] with whom I am well pleased.”

Luke 9:35  (ESV)

35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One;[a] listen to him!” Now, this scripture tells us, Jesus Chris is the son of God even the demons know that.
