Romans 8: Children of God by the Spirit of Adoption

This sermon continues through Romans 8:14-17, focusing on what it means to be led by the Spirit and adopted as children of God. Pastor Steve explains that the Holy Spirit leads believers to put sin to death, assures them they belong to God, and gives them confidence to cry “Abba, Father.” The sermon emphasizes that not everyone is automatically a child of God, but those who receive Christ by faith are adopted into God’s family. It also highlights the Holy Spirit as the seal, guarantee, and down payment of the believer’s future inheritance, giving assurance even in seasons of doubt.
