314 - Father Abraham
വഴി Jonathan S. Rose
Title: Father Abraham
Topic: The Word
Summary: The true, spiritual meaning why many people in the Old and New Testaments are said to refer to Abraham as their father is that both "Abraham" and "father" mean love. A state of love is the "land of Abraham" that has been promised to us all, if we want it.
