O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand (Isaiah 64:8)
If it wasn't for God the father, we would not be here. Isaiah says like a curse "Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! ...Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou?" (Isaiah 45:9-10).
God is also the father of our salvation! It is the Holy Spirit that draws us to Him through repentance. We are adopted by Him so that we can call Him Abba Father! (Romans 8:15). Salvation is a free gift! One cannot earn or buy it! It is only through Christ. It is by the perfect work of Christ on the cross that we can call the God "Father."
Whatever we are or have is from Him, we are the clay in hands of a trustworthy Father; He will mould us right, if we are submissive to Him!
