What does the Bible say about calling God my Father?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that only those who are washed in the blood of Christ can confidently call God their Father.

According to the scripture, being able to call God our Father is deeply rooted in our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 John 3 presents this relationship as being predicated on the work of Christ in redeeming sinners. It's essential to understand that God is not the spiritual Father of all people universally, but He is a Father to those who are saved and stand before Him clothed in the righteousness of Christ. Ephesians 1 elaborates on this by stating that we are accepted in the beloved, which underscores that acceptance with God is not based on our merits but through faith in Christ alone. Thus, calling God 'Father' implies a relationship grounded in grace and redemption through Jesus.
