“Jesus has already made it clear in **Matthew 6** that the single most important
influence on the way we live the Christian life is _how we think of God_.

For Jesus, _theology_ (how we think about God) determines _practice_ (how we live
our lives).

In particular, Jesus stressed how important it is for us to think of God as Father,
and to know the intimacy of a Father-son relationship with Him.”
