In order to be in reality the Israel of God, we need to experience God as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. It is not enough for us to know and experience God as our Father, our source; we need to go on and experience Him by enjoying […]
Knowing and Experiencing God as the God of Abraham: God is our Father, our Source!
The God who chose us, called us, redeemed us, saved us, justified us, and who daily renews us, transforms us, and will eventually glorify us is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Knowing and Experiencing the Triune God as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
