This sermon emphasizes God the Father's unconditional love for believers, rooted in their love for Christ and belief in His divine origin. It stresses that the Father's love is not passive but active and enduring, despite our personal failings. The importance of prayer as a direct means of communing with the Father is commanded, echoing Christ's promises regarding prayer.
