“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.

1 Thessalonians #18

Review of Sanctification. Sanctification is a one-word summary for the Will of God for our lives. 1Th 4:3- With liberty comes responsibility. We must be willing at times to separate from normally authorized things for the cause of Christ. God is the guardian of these boundaries. Numbers 6:1-12 Nazarite vow-separate themselves unto the Lord. These represent outward manifestations of inward sacrifices we must sometimes make to serve Christ. Judges 13:5, 13:25, 14:1-6, 14:7-9 Samson's example of the Nazarite vow. God works in the world as it is not as we wish it were. Heb 11:32-34

Scripture References: Judges 13:25, Judges 13:5, Numbers 6:1-12, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, Hebrews 11:32-34, Judges 14:7-9, Judges 14:1-6

The Thessalonians were persecuted for their faith. Paul's first letter to them provides comfort, reminding them of the details of Christ's return for His Church ("The Blessed Hope") and providing practical spiritual lessons for living.
