{adoption} - Abba! Father!
9:45 AM
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” -Romans 8:15
Do you ever get days where you are just overwhelmed by God's Word? I read this today and couldn't but feel overwhelmed by this passage. We are adopted into God's family!. We are His children and can him "Abba". Just like Jesus. The first time God was referred to as "Abba" was when Jesus went to the garden of Gethsemane to prays...
"And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
-Mark 14:36
His prayer to his "Abba" was an intimate prayer during his greatest need. Because of Christ's sacrifice we can now approach God in the same manner as his SON did. What grace! what a statement of our identity in God through Christ Jesus. We are adopted. Grafted in. We are God's sons and daughters. Rest in that today! You are God's Child. Redeemed. Chosen. Fully loved. Treasured.
