“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.

Secure In Christ #5
Interpreting the Word of God demands several principles: Unity and consistency of scripture (2Ti 3:16, Jam 2:10-11). What we have in written Word is fulfilled in Christ; He was consistent (Mat 5:17). Context is paramount. Simplicity in interpretation is the most accurate. Keeping interpretation Christ-centered (Joh 1:1-34, Luk 24:27, Luk 24:45).
Scripture References: Luke 24:45, Luke 24:27, John 1:1-34, Matthew 5:17, James 2:10-11
