Adopted by God: Finding Faith and Freedom in Romans 8
Episode Overview
Faith in Jesus Christ can transform how you view life's struggles. Believers are adopted children of God, not bound by fear or sin. Living in the Spirit means recognising God's action in all aspects of life. Intimacy with God is akin to a child calling out 'Abba' to their father. Spiritual adoption offers hope and encouragement for those feeling overwhelmed.
'You did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption by whom we cry, Abba, Father.'
