“Cry … ‘Abba, Father'”

Learning to Live in the Spirit of Adoption
“For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.'”
Romans 8:15
This study of spiritual adoption will hold many surprises for us. Not only is God the Father treated slightly in most works on theology, but the concept of sonship by spiritual adoption is scarcely understood.
Because of the biblical meaning of the term “adoption,” our study is forced to take a practical approach to the relationship of the believer to the heavenly Father. This approach is demanded by each of the passages in which the phrase “Abba, Father” is found.

Five Factors Redeeming Time

Eph 5:16-21 Time is precious. You can make money but not time. You cannot redeem time until you know it's value. We cannot redeem time until you know what you're going to do with it. You need to know the reason for redeeming time (Eph 5:1-2) — imitating Christ. It takes attention, alertness to redeem the time (Eph 5:14). You have to be cautious to redeem the time (Eph 5:15a). You need wisdom to redeem the time (Eph 5:15b) — wisdom is knowing the things that count — "understanding what the will of the Lord is". You can "kill time" (Eph 5:14). Wisdom is coming to God through Jesus Christ, regarding His Word and living in accordance to it.
