"For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."

Abba Father = Abba Pater

Those who through Christ exalted in the closest bonds of love and intimacy & made acquainted with His purposes.

"The child asks of the Father whom he knows. Thus, the essence of Christian prayer is not general adoration, but definite, concrete petition. The right way to approach God is to stretch out our hands and ask of One who we know has the heart of a Father." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer,

God attaches no strings to His love. None. His love for us does not depend on our loveliness. It goes one way. As far as our sin may extend, the grace of our Father extends further. ~Tullian Tchividjian
