Video of my sermon “Abba, Father” from Romans 8:12-18 at Reed Springs Baptist Church, June 15, 2014.

1. We have new life in the Holy Spirit (vs. 12-13)

• Romans 8:5-9; Galatians 5:16

2. We have a new relationship to God (vs. 14-16)

• Romans 6:17; 1 John 4:18
• abbá – an intimate term for “father”; almost never used for God.

3. We have an inheritance with Christ (vs. 17)

• Galatians 4:7 2; Timothy 2:11-13; Romans 8:18-23; Revelation 5:10
