Bondage or Adoption

“For 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).

Before we were saved, we walked in the darkness of sin with plenty to fear.  We were in bondage and stayed that way until Christ broke our chains.  We no longer should live in fear because we have been adopted into God’s family.  We can have a close personal relationship with God.  Through His mercy and grace, we have the right and privilege to call Him our Father.

Why would anyone choose to stay in bondage when there are so many wonderful blessings as a child of the King?
