Do Christians attribute more to Christ than to God?
Why do Christians speak more about Jesus than about God?
Why is it, in the Christian world, it seems that the focus is more on Jesus than on God? Indeed, Jesus (being God) died for our sins and only through Him do we have salvation. Through what He Himself has done, He has brought glory of the Father to us and taught us to pray “our Father.” Yet, most evangelical Christian prayers are directed to Jesus, through their songs and words, Christians seem to use Christ’s name more than the Father’s. To me, it seems that we should give equal attention to the three persons of the Holy Trinity, right?
With all three texts, we see that God gave Jesus a special position and He wants all people to respect this position.
As to praying to the Savior, the Bible teaches us to pray to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. Having this in mind, I wrote the following article “Are we to pray to God the Father or Jesus Christ?”.
The apostles prayed to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ giving the same honor to the Holy Trinity. Here, for example, is Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians.
Or, here’s an example how Paul begins his epistle to the Ephesians.
Read the beginning and end of the epistles and you will see that the authors give equal honor and worship the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In fact, it is very important for every person to read as much as the Holy Scriptures, investigating what is there so that when we pray, we pray according to the will of God and the words of God. May He help us pray without ceasing.
