“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.

From Series: "The Gospel According to David -- Rocky Mountain Bible Conference 2016"
The annual Basic Training Bible Ministries Rocky Mountain Bible Conference was 27-29 May 2016. In Psalm 32 David declares 'Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity.' Paul uses this quote in ROM 4:7-8 to support three great truths of the Gospel: 1) Justification is by faith in Christ alone 2) God imputes His righteousness to those who believe the gospel 3) This righteous standing before God is apart from works of any kind.
