“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.

We know that the only perfectly steadfast and sinless soul that ever lived was the Lord Jesus Christ. From His very birth, He set His mind on the mission God sent Him to this Earth to accomplish. He set His face like flint to the task; He lived and died to reconcile man to God. To safeguard our soul would be to arm ourselves with the “mind of Christ,” to think as He thought, and to walk as He walked.
