“If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” - Matthew 5:48 (ESV)
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. – Luke 11:13 (NASB)
Father’s Day* is observed annually on the third Sunday in June in the United States and by citizens of the USA around the world. As we honor our earthly fathers and fatherhood on this day, we can remember that we have a heavenly Father who is the source of our eternal life and blessings we enjoy, because in faith we have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Our first verse clearly states that the heavenly Father freely gives the Holy Spirit to all who believe. This is true since the beginning of the Christian Church on the Day of Pentecost. We who believe by faith, have received the Holy Spirit from the Father at the behest of Jesus the Son of God. We are told by Jesus in Luke that we are to be perfect just as our heavenly Father is perfect. We know such perfection is impossible on our own. It can be done for us only by our heavenly Father and we receive it through the gift of the Holy Spirit. We remember our fathers today and honor them as we can. Remember our heavenly Father today and also give to him the honor and glory He deserves.
