names of God: Spirit of Adoption

names of God: Spirit of Adoption by ric gustafson


Romans 8:15- ' but ye have received the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba Father'


This term refers to God the Holy Spirit. The word Adoption means to accept something and make it your own. In this passage from Romans, Paul was telling new christians that they were now in a new relationship, one of love from God the Father. When we accept and embrace God, he adopts us into his family. As we fully accept God as our Father, he fully accepts us as family.
