"God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts," Galatians 4:6.
Who sent Christ's Spirit? God. God did. Where did he send the Spirit? Into our hearts. Whose hearts? Ours. What does the Spirit prompt us to do? To call God "Father." "Abba!" And why did God send the Spirit into our hearts? Because we are his children. We pay attention: God adopted us his children! And since God has first made us his children, he secondly sent the same Spirit as his Son's into our hearts. And we get to call God, Father. And by what principle? By the principle of faith. We are children of God through faith.
We visit with a brother or sister today in the name of our father, God. And together we say, Thank You, Father!, for adopting us your own in Jesus.
