Isaiah 63:16For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn’t know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, LORD, are our Father. Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
Isaiah 64:8But now, LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.
Matthew 5:45-48that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

Matthew 6:9-10Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
John 8:41You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
