For you have not received the spirit of slavery, to live again in fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption, on whose basis we cry out: “Abba, Father”. Romans 8. 15
Ⅰ. The spirit of adoption
A. Romans 8 explains that the work of the Spirit aims to bring Christians into God’s family.
I. No there is condemnation for those who are in Christ and can never be separated from him.
II. . The Spirit of God who comes through Jesus reveals the face of the Father so that, like Jesus, we can call Him Heavenly Father.
B. Paul uses the language of fatherhood in Romans 8 (and Galatians 4) to show that all of God’s children, men and women, receive Jesus’ inheritance.
I. In biblical times, girls did not inherit. Therefore, Paul wants to make it clear that all of God’s children inherit.
II. . In addition, the children of God are the heirs of Christ’s complete inheritance, not only of lesser value.
C. Paul explains that Christians can boldly shout to their Father because of the fatherhood acquired by Jesus.

II. . Es a great privilege that Christians sometimes do not recognize.
II. The purpose of membership
A. The ultimate goal of membership is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.
I. No can define the good paul speaks of in Romans 8:28 as good things that happen to us.
Ⅱ. The good to which Paul refers is our conformity to the image of Christ.
B. Our conformity to the image of Christ glorifies our Savior because He positions him as the Savior and the firstborn among many children.
I. No we look like our older brother, Jesus, but the holy spirit’s love for Jesus has determined him to make us like Jesus, so that Jesus may be the firstborn of many brothers and sisters.
Ⅱ. The Spirit loves the Father so much that he regenerates sinners to form a family; the Spirit loves Jesus so much that he makes these sinners like his older brother.
C. Let us praise the Holy Spirit and thank God for this gift
