Adopted by the Spirit
What if you knew God was pleased with you, even when you failed?
What if you could stop living in fear of getting things wrong and start living with the confidence of a deeply loved son or daughter?
In Romans 8, Paul describes some of the Holy Spirit's sweetest work—moving us from fear to trust, from slavery to freedom, and from estrangement to adoption into God's family.
But the Spirit doesn't just want us to know we are God's children. He wants us to experience what it means to have God as our Father.
In this deeply personal message, Peter Sondergeld explores the Spirit's work of adoption, the gaps and scars left by imperfect earthly fathers, and what it means to be refathered by God.
Being precedes doing. You don't have to perform your way into God's family, and you don't have to live in fear of being thrown out.
The question is: Do you really know what your heavenly Father thinks of you?
