“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For
you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you
received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’”
- Romans 8:14-16
The Holy Spirit reveals many things to us. One of the most
beautiful is the Spirit revealing God as our loving Father, our “Abba
- Daddy.” Jesus related to his Father as Abba and never before
had God been spoken of in such personal and intimate terms. God
as Abba is a uniquely beautiful Christian revelation. The Spirit of
Jesus desires to free us from fear and a master-slave relationship
to a Father-Daughter or Father-Son relationship.
