Romans 8:15

ESVFor you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"

NIVThe Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

NASBFor you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, 'Abba! Father!'

CSBFor you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father!"

NLTSo you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, 'Abba, Father.'

KJVFor ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

NKJVFor you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

Commentary on Romans 8:10-17

(Read Romans 8:10-17)

If the Spirit be in us, Christ is in us. He dwells in the heart by faith. Grace in the soul is its new nature; the soul is alive to God, and has begun its holy happiness which shall endure for ever. The righteousness of Christ imputed, secures the soul, the better part, from death. From hence we see how much it is our duty to walk, not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. If any habitually live according to corrupt lustings, they will certainly perish in their sins, whatever they profess. And what can a worldly life present, worthy for a moment to be put against this noble prize of our high calling? Let us then, by the Spirit, endeavour more and more to mortify the flesh. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit brings a new and Divine life to the soul, though in a feeble state. And the sons of God have the Spirit to work in them the disposition of children; they have not the spirit of bondage, which the Old Testament church was under, through the darkness of that dispensation. The Spirit of adoption was not then plentifully poured out. Also it refers to that spirit of bon

Living from 'It Is Finished' to 'Well Done': Lessons from Papa Tinkle

Today I am reflecting on the life of my recently passed Papa Tinkle. My most fond memory of Papa Tinkle was at Christmas time every year. As a child, it also might have been the hardest part to deal with. We would show up at my Aunt Lisa’s house, and there were presents everywhere. There is nothing worse than being a kid on Christmas morning seeing all those presents and being told, “Hold on! We have something more important than opening all these presents!” What could possibly be more important than opening gifts!?! But then Papa would open up the Word of God to read us Luke chapter 2.

This left such an impact on me over the years that it’s what I do with my family as well. It’s what I encourage our church to do with their families now as well. When Papa Tinkle took that great book and began to read, he became more than Grandpa, Father, or Husband, but a spiritual patriarch, letting everyone know what was most important.

Papa Tinkle taught me “Men who know the Word of God, lead the world to God.” It wasn’t something He had to say, it was something his example spoke louder than words ever could.

Romans 8:9-17

⁹ But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won't know what we're talking about.

¹⁰ But for you who welcome him, in whom he dwells - even though you still exposure all the limitations of sin - you yourself experience being on God's terms. ¹¹ It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the defunct moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead experience. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's! ¹² So don't you see that we don't owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. ¹³ There's nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The foremost thing to do is deliver it a decent burial and get on with your modern life. ¹⁴ God's Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go! ¹⁵

The Solution Is Life on God’s Terms

1–2 8 With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.

3–4 God went for the jugular when he sent his own Son. He didn’t deal with the problem as something remote and unimportant. In his Son, Jesus, he personally took on the human condition, entered the disordered mess of struggling humanity in order to set it right once and for all. The law code, weakened as it always was by fractured human nature, could never have done that.

The law always ended up being used as a Band-Aid on sin instead of a deep healing of it. And now what the law code asked for but we couldn’t deliver is accomplished as we, instead of redoubling our own efforts, simply embrace what the Spirit is doing in us.

5–8 Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to ex
