“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.

Titus #5

Titus #5

God's authority is revealed in election - God chose Jesus Christ, and ordained that all who believe in Him would share in His glory, character. 1st five verses: Tit 1:2 God's veracity; Tit 1:3 God's timing; Tit 1:4 God's plan; Tit 1:5 God's organization: has an objective - salvation (Luk 19:10); has a policy - Grace; has Authority (Rom 13:1-7). Divine institutions: (1) volition; (2) marriage; (3) family; (4) government. Paul uses a Divine principle in setting up churches (1Co 14:33, Tit 1:5). Paul left Titus in Crete to fix several authority issues. Titus was to pick an overseer: husband focused on one wife - not polygamous (Tit 1:6-9).
