The Spirit of Adoption

Join Dr. Rusty for this message, which explores the profound truth of the Spirit of Adoption, revealing that the Holy Spirit’s primary work is not merely giving power, gifts, or experiences, but convincing believers that they belong to the Father. Contrasting the spirit of bondage and fear with the Spirit of adoption, the sermon teaches that salvation is the end of spiritual orphanhood and the beginning of a new identity as sons and daughters of God. Through Christ, believers have been welcomed into God’s family, given a new inheritance, and invited to approach Him with confidence, crying, “Abba, Father.” The message emphasizes that the Christian life is not sustained by striving for acceptance, but by resting in the assurance of belonging and living from a secure identity in Christ.
