DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Spirit Of Bondage And Of Adoption is the ninth message in Wesley's 'Forty-Four Sermons'. The text for this sermon is Romans 8:15; 'You have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba Father."In this sermon, Wesley describes three states in which humanity can be; the state of 'Natural Man', which is state of false peace due to blindness to the things of God, the state of being 'Under Law', in which the fear of God is learned, and the final state of being 'Under Grace', in which love for God is learned. He also examines the role which sincerity or insincerity can play in these conditions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Trevor Burke argues that the scripture phrase "adopted as sons," while a key theological metaphor, has been misunderstood, misrepresented or neglected. He redresses the balance in this comprehensive study of the phrase. "This volume not only probes a neglected theme; it also edifies," says D. A. Carson.
