"Our Father, who is in Heaven." (Matthew 6:9)
Who is He? "He is the living God, and an everlasting King." (Jeremiah 10:10)
He is more than a king; He is the King of kings. He is King only of kings; there is no lower rank in His kingdom. Then what does it mean when we call Him our Father? It means that we claim our birthright as kings. All who receive Christ receive power, the right, to become sons of God. "[He] loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, And has made us kings and priests unto God." (Revelation 1:5-6)
Being sons of God, not subjects merely, we must be kings. Do you see what rights and privileges this confers upon you? It places you "above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion." (Ephesians 1:21)
And you can begin at once and demonstrate this marvelous authority given you, by controlling yourself. God has given to each one the right and the power to be master, first of himself, then of everything in the universe that would stand in the way of this perfect control over yourself.
All creation is the inheritance and the servant of the man who knows that he is king solely by virtue of his being a son of the Almighty God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth.--Present Truth, June 26, 1902.
