and pray to Him for help. The word father refers to the fact that God is
these people's only Lord, friend, and parent, and thus does not support
belief in the trinity.
Some of the ways in which this word is used are as follow: (Surely
God is beyond all these expressions)
The Father is greater than I. (John 14:28)

… that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise
on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unright-
eous. (Matthew 5:45)
Go, instead, to my brothers and tell them: "I am returning to my Father
and your Father, to my God and your God." (John 20:17)

Then the righteous will shine like the Sun in the kingdom of their Father.
(Matthew 13:43)
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your
Father, Who is unseen. Then your Father, Who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you. (Matthew 6:6)

Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. (Matthew 6:8)
Your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His king-
dom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as
well. (Matthew 6:32-33)

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your
good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men, to be seen by
them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
(Matthew 6:1)

This, then, is how you should pray: "Our Father, Who is in heaven, hal-
lowed be your name." (Matthew 6:9)
For if you forgive people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you. (Matthew 6:14)
