“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.

Ephesians #27

Ephesians #27

Nan gives an India mission report. Jude writes to contend for the faith. "Hating even the garment soiled (defiled) by the flesh" and "look to Him who is able to keep you from falling" Jud 1:20-25 We need to change our clothes often - lay aside our garments, conduct - which means repentance and confession (Eph 4:22) to be "renewed in the spirit" (Eph 4:23). "Put on" the new man means the new creature God "created in Righteousness", and speaks truth (Eph 4:24-25).

Scripture References: Ephesians 4:24-25, Ephesians 4:23, Ephesians 4:22, Jude 1:20-25

More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
