Preeminence of God the Father
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this piece, Steve Gregg emphasizes the preeminence of God the Father in the Bible, particularly in the teachings of Jesus. While the Bible also teaches the preeminence of Christ, it underscores the Father's sovereignty, supreme knowledge, and glory. Jesus often spoke of the significance of doing the Father's will and underscored his dependency on Him. Therefore, understanding the fatherly and parental love of God the Father is essential in accessing grace and salvation, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
