Episode 138: Faith Unscripted Episode 72 - Knowing the character of the One Before Whom We Stand

Faith Unscripted with Pastor Rich Hasselbach

What is our relationship with God? Who are we as we stand before Him, and how do we come to know the One before whom we stand? The sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition answer these questions - or at least they point to an answer. God is the creator, the Lord, and sovereign of the universe he created by speaking it into existence. So majestic is the Lord that his name is unutterable. Pious Jews will never pronounce YHWH, the word God gave Moses when he asked the name of the One who spoke from the burning bush. "I am who I am." the Lord told him. He is the great "I Am." Yet Jesus teaches that the One who created the universe, the One who liberates the enslaved, can be addressed as "Father." We are in a tender relationship with God, who prefers us to think of him as Abba, Father. Our Abba longs to hear our voice like a human father loves to listen to the prattle of his children. All this and more, plus listener phone calls on this episode of Faith Unscripted.
