Abba, Father | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.22

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: Romans 8:15"The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, 'Abba, Father.'" (NIV)There's a kind of fear that never fully leaves — the instinct to choose your words carefully around someone you're afraid of disappointing. For a long time, many of us approached God the same way, watching our step, waiting to be caught. But Paul says something different is true now. We didn't receive a spirit that keeps us cowering in fear — we received the Spirit of adoption, and that Spirit puts a cry in our mouths we would never have dared on our own. Today, we look at what it means to run toward God instead of watching the door.This episode is part of our season through Romans.
