“How we think of God” by Sinclair Ferguson

“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.”
