Abba (Father)

"Abba" is an Aramaic word meaning "Father," used by Jesus to refer to God in a personal and intimate way. It expresses a deep sense of trust, closeness, and reverence, similar to saying "dad" or "dad whom I trust." In Christian theology, calling God "Abba" emphasizes the loving, approachable relationship believers can have with God, highlighting that He is both powerful and caring—someone who invites personal connection and dependence. This term underscores the idea that believers are children of God, valued and loved deeply.
