Romans 8:12-17

How Knowing God as Father is Meant to Change Us

1. Being adopted into God's family changes your identity from a slave to a son
2. God becomes your Abba Father, changing your relationship
3. God can lead us with his Spirit
4. Knowing God as father gives us a stake in Christ's inheritance and changes our hope for the future
5. Changes our expectations for what life should look like: enduring suffering is part of being God's children
