Ephesians 2:18
-
Some Christians use Matthew 6:6 to argue that the Father is hidden, inaccessible, and therefore should not be addressed in prayer. But the very passage they cite says the opposite. Jesus does not forbid prayer to the Father. He commands it.
-
True devotion to Jesus does not silence the Father or reduce the Spirit. The gospel brings us to the Father, through the Son, in the Spirit. Christ is our High Priest, not to keep us away from God, but to bring us near.
