MAIN TALK UNDERSTANDING GOD THE SCRIPTURES

Daily Bible Thought > Roman's Chapter Eight Verse 15 spirit of bondage

Rom.8:15 For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba{Abba is an Aramaic word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven.}! Father!"

Many Christian's groups have put the emphasis on the affectionate word Paul spoke here Abba, and it is important, but of far greater importance is why we can say Abba? We can say Abba to our Father Yahweh because He is love. And love puts fear outside in darkness where it belongs, but what does that mean?

It means in love there is no fear of judgment for our sins by the Law or sins law, we have been set free from bondage of fear through for breaking a commantment. We either as Christian's stand before a Judge, or a loving Father, by our faith? When we have God's Spirit its testifies with our own spirit we are God's Children, in this spirit of love we talk to our Papa in endearing terms; communing with Him in love, and affection, wanting to please Him because of our love for Him.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.


Darkness is the opposite of light, God is light because He is love, darkness of sin is found in all human being, which causes fear of judgment. The law convicts us of sin, and sinning against God's righteous standards, which creates fear in us of punishment from God. He than is no longer a loving Father that we freely approach in freedom of judgment. We rather are forced into confess our sins out of fear, that is, if we confess them at all, for fear of judgment

However, far beyond our thinking, and the sinful hearts, God returns good for evil, by removing the law convicting us of our sins in Christ Jesus, thus, we receive the righteousness of Christ Jesus so we stand justified in his life. We now have no sin in God's eyes by Christ righteous not our unrighteousness, because Christ removed the law convicting us of sin, we can now say Abba Father with out bondage, and fear of being rejected by our Father because we fall far short of the glory of God.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
