Talking to Your Daddy

And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

(Galatians 4:6-7 from Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®)

Anyone who is still captive to the laws Yahweh gave Israel, or the natural, conscience-related laws written in the hearts of gentile unbelievers, will be begging for crumbs from their master’s table to find provision. At some point, the Spirit Who stirs us to call Yahweh, “Abba” or “Daddy”, should convince us instead that we are able to talk to Him in terms that would sound naturally like, “Daddy, would you please pass the chicken?”
