After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Matthew 6:9
Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Romans 8:15
Through Christ, God is our Father. The adopted child takes the family name and inherits all the privileges and responsibilities of a son or daughter. The privileges are immense—we are redeemed, reconciled, justifi ed and one day glorified. The responsibilities are awesome and can be summed up in this, “walking worthy of the vocation by which we are called” (Eph. 4:1). —Drew Craig
To serve the present age, my calling to fulfil,
O may it all my powers engage, to do my Master’s will. —Charles Wesley
