“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father” (Galatians 4:6).
When the English translators came to this verse, their religious protocol made them reluctant to use the true translation of the Hebrew term of endearment, Abba, which means My Daddy!
Not knowing how to translate the word without offending religion, they simply left the word Abba untranslated! What a shame! They stole a great blessing from us! But we can go back to God’s original desire and satisfy His heart by lovingly calling Him My Daddy!
“Abba” is usually the first word a Hebrew child learns, because it is so easy to vocalize. Yes, it definitely means, “My Daddy.”
Prayer: “My Daddy!”
