John 16:26-27

26 “In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

 

One key and defining attribute of God that does not appear in any other world religion or system is the biblical use of the term “Father.” Over 70 times in the New Testament alone, God is described as “Father” to His children. No major world religion describes the relationship between its creator and its adherents in terms of a father. ~ Ergun Caner
