"ABBA, FATHER!"

Galatians 4:4-7

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Encouraging Words

Because of whom Jesus is, fully God and fully man, and what He did through being born a human, living a sinless life, going to the cross for sinners, defeating death, and being resurrected, we can become adopted sons and daughters into the family of God. We can cry out to Him saying, "Abba, Father!". This is the most intimate way possible to call out to Him. Through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, we are no longer slaves but adopted children into the kingdom of God. Glory to Him!
