What Is the Meaning of the Lord's Prayer?

 Jesus' teaching agreed with the rest of the Scriptures, so we can expect other parts of the Bible to shed light on the meaning of the Lord's Prayer. 

"Our Father in the heavens"

It is fitting to address God as "our Father" because he created us and gave us life. - ISAIAH 64:8.

"Let your name be sanctified"

God's name, Jehovah, should be honored and treated as holy, or sacred. Humans share in sanctifying God's name when they speak of his qualities and make known his purposes. - PSALM 83:18; ISAIAH 6:3.
