Romans 8:14-8:15

Living and Led by the Spirit - Part 3

Adoption is a word that has a negative connotation for may people, and that's sad. When you think about it, being adopted means that your adoptive parents really wanted you badly! Considering the number of abortions in America today, it's a shame there aren't more adoptions! Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll again look at Romans chapter eight, verses fourteen and fifteen. Paul says as believers in Jesus Christ, we have received a spirit of adoption. What does that mean exactly?

  1. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
  2. 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.
