"Everything that Christ taught, everything that makes the New Testament new, and better than the Old, everything that is distinctively Christian as opposed to merely Jewish, is summed up in the knowledge of the Fatherhood of God. "Father" is the Christian name for God...Our understanding of Christianity cannot be better than our grasp of adoption...The revelation to the believer that God is his Father is in a sense the climax of the Bible, just as it was a final step in the revelatory process which the Bible records."
J.I. Packer, Knowing God, pg. 201-202
For movie buffs, "Luke (insert your name here) I am your Father"
