Grace for your spirit February 13, 2013

Grace for your spirit
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba Father!"   Romans 8:15

When we rise from the waters of baptism, the Spirit of Him who raised us, dwells in us.  This changes everything about our relationship with God.  We are no longer slaves in the kingdom, but now we are adopted children of God.  The call of Abba! Father! reflects our new intimate relationship with Him.  We become children, heirs,and fellow heirs with Christ our brother.  All the benefits of God's family and His inheritance now belongs to us.  His Spirit living in us, frees us from the spirit of slavery permanently.  Praise to our Father.
