The Spirit of Adoption

Romans 8:15 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."

The Born Again Christian isn't under bondage of obey or die. Fear relationship.But is under adoption where we have a family relationship

When the Christian is "born again," they are adopted into a relationship with the family of God. John1:12

Believers are adopted sons (Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5), not slaves (Gal. 4:7); so they need not be enslaved to sin or in fear.

In New Testament times as today, adopted sons enjoyed the same privileges as natural-born sons. So, instead of cowering in slave-like fear, Christians can approach God in an intimate way calling Him Abba, Father.

But if we tried to approach the relationship in our flesh we would still be separated and not part of HIS family, it would be a fearful visit.

When you’re adopted you need that reassurance that you’re HIS child. That reassurance is the Holly Spirit IN you.
