AM on Romans 8
Wake up heart flowing w/ joy & gratitude he has adopted you! Does not matter what you are going thru!
The Theology of Adoption: If you have the Spirit then you belong to Christ. If you don’t, you don’t belong. Indwelling Spirit defining, not external
Leading by Spirit empowers us to ‘mortify’ sin. Not sentinmentalism.
Greek word used to describe placement means established / fixed in position. If you have indwelling Spirit, you can’t be in one day & out the next!
Roman adoption was about looking for a perfect heir. God has picked us even tho we aren’t desirable & are his enemy
Adoption takes time!
Share in divine nature means we rec’ new nature, moved on from impulses, cravings, desires. Still remnant of it
"Put on new self.....in true righteousness & holiness" - Eph 4
The Amen of Adoption: Assurance & joy
We think we are living but we are dying & get tired of it, come to Christ to be set free
The Relationship of Adoption: sons (heirs)
Fear of condemnation gone. A new kind of ‘fear’ rooted in love -> “Father, I messed up”
Abba same word a child would use to speak to their father
"Since you are a son, God has made you an heir" - Gal 4
"See what kind of love the Father has given us we s/b called children of God. & so we are." 1 John 3
B/c we have been adopted, we will also share in the struggles.
As a Father, he doesn’t give us everything we want b/c he is interested in character transformation.

Controversies for the right reasons & things help church grow & thrive, & ignoring causes church to languish

Must not love controversy. Must love who we contend
Athanasius stood in the face of the onslaught of worldliness
