2. Someone who has just been born again has no idea what just happened!
It would be an honour to serve God as a slave
…but he adopts us as children instead.
Romans 8:15 The 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’.

3. …moves from fear to security
An adopted child…
…moves from fear to security
Isaiah 41:13
For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.

4. An adopted child…
…moves from fear to security
…has a forever family

5. …moves from fear to security …has a forever family
An adopted child…
…moves from fear to security
…has a forever family
…has a place to call home
Romans 8:23-25 We ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

6. An adopted child…
…moves from fear to security
…has a forever family
…has a place to call home
…starts to heal
