We were not fathers also to convey the promise, as Abraham was; nor although the promise, as collectively taken, had belonged to us, as to Abraham it did.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be.
Fathers, yours is an eternal calling from which you are never released.
Our Father knew exactly what He was doing when He created us. He made us enough alike to love each other, but enough different that we would need to unite our strengths and stewardships to create a whole.
It was both Abraham's and the Jews' privilege also that they should have this promise to all generations.
To turn our hearts to our fathers is to search out the names of our deceased ancestors and to perform the saving ordinances in the temple for them. This will forge a continuous chain between us and our forefathers eventually all the way back to Father Adam and Mother Eve.
I didn't have a father when I was growing up, and I vowed to be there with my kids.
To be as good as our fathers we must be better, imitation is not discipleship.
Without fathers you would have no civilization.
I can't say I had an ideal father, and I'm not a father myself.
We have the promise of God's being our God, and of the blessing by Christ for ourselves, as we are Abraham's seed, yet take the whole promise collectively made to him and us.
