“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 Transforming Power of Grace 8
In the Synagogue in Nazareth, Jesus read only half-way through verse two (Isa 61:1-3). "Adorning the doctrine of God" means that you are being beautified as you do what glorifies God (Tit 2:10). Production and fruitfulness is the goal (Tit 2:4).
