What is the significance of calling God 'Abba, Father'?

Answered in 1 source

'Abba, Father' reflects the intimate, personal relationship believers have with God as His children.

Calling God 'Abba, Father' underscores the profound intimacy and accessibility that believers have with God. The term 'Abba' conveys a sense of closeness and affection, akin to calling Him 'Daddy.' This relational aspect is central to the Christian experience, emphasizing that through the Holy Spirit, we can approach God with confidence and love. It also highlights our transformation from a position of servanthood to that of beloved children, reinforcing our secure standing within God's family, filled with love and grace.
