Our Sonship – Yay!
Hello
everyone,
How
are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. The Bible
is just so wonderful, God’s words to us are indeed Spirit and life.

Text
“For
ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received
the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Romans 8v15 (KJV)
“For
[the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put
you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption
[the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)!
Father!” Romans 8v15 (AMP)
“So
you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you
received God’s Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him,
“Abba, Father.” Romans 8v15 (NLT)
“This
resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life.
It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next,
Papa?” Romans 8v15 (MSG)
“The
Spirit we received does not make us slaves again to fear; it makes us children
of God. With that Spirit we cry out, “Father.” Romans 8v15 (NCV)
Wonderful,
wonderful, wonderful. Simply wonderful. How wonderful it is that we who believe
in the Lord Jesus Christ and received Him have been given the right to become
the children of God. In fact, we have been given a Spirit of adoption, whereby
we cry, Abba Father. It doesn’t matter what your idea of a father is, perhaps
you did not have a good experience growing up or perhaps your father is passed.
But as children of God, you have a Father who loves you so much that He sent
His only begotten Son to die for you. Jesus loves you so much that He laid down
His life for you, no one took it from Him (John 10v17&18). The Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit, God loves you so much that He has given you His Spirit
by which you can cry Abba Father. John 1v10-13 (AMP) says “He came into the
world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize
Him [did not know Him]. He came to that which belonged to Him [to His own – His
domain, creation, things, world], and they who were His own did not receive Him
and did not welcome Him. But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave
the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is,
to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name --Who owe
their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical
impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They
are born of God!]”
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, we thank You so much for being our Father. We thank You for the Spirit
of adoption that You have given unto us whereby we cry Abba Father. We love
You, we appreciate You, we honor You. Draw us closer Father, that we may know
You more. Thank You Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Jesus name we pray, amen.
