The document discusses the Aramaic word "Abba" meaning father, which is used to refer to God. It is mentioned 3 times in the Bible to express intimacy with God. The document also discusses how believers become sons of God through faith in Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit. As sons of God, believers are no longer slaves to fear but have an intimate relationship with God as their Father and are heirs through Christ if they suffer with him.
8. Mark 14:36
“Abba, Father,” he said,
“everything is possible for
you. Take this cup from me.
Yet not what I will, but what
you will.”
9. Romans 8:15
For you did not receive a
spirit that makes you a slave
again to fear, but you
received the Spirit of
sonship. And by him we cry,
“Abba, Father.”
10. Galatians 4:6
Because you are sons, God
sent the Spirit of his Son into
our hearts, the Spirit who
calls out, “Abba, Father.”
