“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.

The Mastery of Time

Jesus mastered time. The key is doing God's will (Joh 6:38-40). We were created for a purpose -- to accomplish what no one else could. He gives us desires (Psa 37:4). Rest is a gift when you come to Him (Mat 11:28-29). Come to Him in: 1) prayer; 2) study; 3) obedience. All of life's problems are solved by coming to Him. God's guides and allows every event so that you will come to Him. His rest is not ceasing activity, but vibrant activity. No problem can stand in the presence of Jesus Christ. What does a life that redeems the time look like? The rest of eternal life (Eph 2:8-9); the second rest is a life of fulfillment doing God's will (Eph 2:10).
