Becoming the Love of Abba, Father

St Peters Orthodox Church

When the world was in darkness, Christ our God leaped down from His throne and came to us. He leaped down so that we may rise up. St. Paul, in Galatians 4, tells us that by His coming to us we have become adopted sons and daughters of God. We have been brought through Christ into a family order here on earth established by God to heal and transform all of us. As we live in that order, we become the nature of the God Who ordered it all. Today we look at the virtue of God's humility. We grow in this virtue of humility as we live life in this blessed family. And, the practice of this virtue changes us as we become the love of our Heavenly Father.
