02/06 Romans 8:15
“For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’”
• Believers are freed from fear’s bondage through adoption.
• The Spirit assures us of our intimate relationship with God.
• “Abba” reflects a deep, childlike trust in the Father.
• Fear is replaced with the security of being God’s child.
• Adoption guarantees God’s care and provision.
