When we believe in Christ our sins are forgiven, and we become a child of the King. We’re free from the bondage of sin and fear. We’ve received the Spirit of Adoption which allows us to call our new Heavenly Father “Abba” which means “Daddy”.
It’s such an intimate relationship. When we hurt we can cry out to “Daddy” like a small helpless child and know He will hear us. He loved us enough to send His beloved Son to die on a cruel cross for our sins, so we know He cares for us in our need.
We respect and reverence our “Daddy”.
Once I was clothed in the rags of my sin, Wretched and poor, lost and lonely within.
But with wondrous compassion, the King of all kings, In pity and love,
took me under His wings.
Oh, yes, oh yes, I'm a child of the King; His royal blood now flows in my veins.
And I who was wretched and poor now can sing; Praise God, praise God,
I'm a child of the King.
Bill and Gloria Gaither
