Verses 14 through 17, three blessings that are entailed in the fact that we have become the children of God. First, verse 15, he says because we are adopted children of God we enjoy the blessing of access. We have access. We can come boldly to God and call Him Abba Father. Access. Secondly, in verse 16, because we are adopted children of God we can enjoy the blessing of assurance. The Holy Spirit testifies with our spirits that we are, indeed, God’s children. And then finally in verse 17, because we are adopted children of God we enjoy the blessing of a glorious future inheritance. We are heirs of God and coheirs with Christ since we are God’s children now. Access, assurance, and inheritance - because we are the children of God.  ]] Sun, 07 Jun 2020 00:00:00 -0500 https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/sermons/the-spirit-of-adoption https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/2/4829 If you look at the text with me for just a moment, I want you to see Paul highlighting three aspects of our adoption in particular.
