There are many ways that people perceive God. Some view God as some sort of employer – and so we have quotas to meet, tasks to fulfill, favor to earn. Others view God as a grand therapist – there when we need Him for spiritual advice and helpful hints for life. Others still see God as distant, unapproachable in His holiness – and so He is to be revered from afar, and should not be bothered with our petty concerns.

In this middle section of Romans 8, having shared with us that those in Christ are no longer condemned by God, Paul speaks of relationship with God. But he speaks of it here very softly, gently, as a relationship between a parent and His children. Paul says that to God, we can cry out “Abba” Father – a term of intimacy and endearment.

How do you understand your relationship with God? What does He expect of you, now that you are adopted to sonship? And what can you expect of Him, now that He is your Abba Father? Join us this Sunday as we explore Paul’s words here, and our relationship with God!
