Finding the Father

In what way a person finds the one The Lord, Jesus Christ, called The Father can be understood from experience as it becomes clear looking back how a combination of The Lord, Jesus Christ's teachings and the persevering work of disciples and churches leads to an understanding that The God who is The Father and The Lord who is Jesus the Christ make themselves known to those who hear their words and, having believed, obey them as best they can. This leads to obedience which in turn leads to the benefits of God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit reaching out in faithfulness to the promise. It all comes about through the teachings and faithfulness of the man Jesus Christ who was crucified after giving these teachings but raised by The Father from death. His disciples and churches work with Him in our lives to lead to our understanding of these teachings and commands to obey and the promises He and The Father, whose teachings they are, and the Holy Spirit fulfill in reaching out to those who obey and seek God.
