Holy #7 - Abba, Father

from The Garden Church Auckland · host The Garden Church Auckland

What if the deepest question beneath all our striving is simply this: Am I actually okay with God? In Romans 8, Paul answers with stunning clarity—“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Not later. Not once you’ve improved. Now. In this message, Tim walks us through three life-changing realities: - Condemnation didn’t vanish; it fell on Jesus, so the verdict over your life is settled. - God’s presence isn’t locked behind a curtain anymore - He has moved in. The Holy Spirit dwells in you, not as a visitor, but as a permanent resident. - You’re not living on probation; you’re brought into the family. The Spirit doesn’t produce fear-driven performance, but a cry from the heart: “Abba, Father.” If you’ve been living under guilt, anxiety, or the pressure to earn your place with God, this message is an invitation to stop arguing with your acquittal - and start living like a child who will inherit. Main takeaway: You are not who your guilt says you are. You are who the Spirit says you are: child.
