Galatians Devotional - March 1

Read & Reflect
As we continue in our sermon series WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?, tomorrow’s sermon is I AM ADOPTED.
Let’s prayerfully read Romans 8, reflecting on our identity as adopted children of God.

• What new highlight stands out to you?
• How does this passage deepen your understanding of being God’s child?
• What application might this have in your life?

Key Verse: Romans 8:15-16
“For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father!’ The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children.”

• What does it mean to be adopted by God?
• We are no longer slaves to sin or fear.
• We are fully accepted and loved as God’s children.
• We can call God "Abba, Father", a term of intimacy and closeness.
• We are co-heirs with Christ, sharing in His inheritance.

Reflection Questions:

• Do you truly live with the confidence of being God’s child, or do you struggle with doubt?
• How does knowing you are fully loved and chosen by God impact the way you see yourself and others?

Prayer
Father,
Thank You for adopting me into Your family. I am no longer a slave to fear or sin—I am Your child. Help me to walk in the fullness of this identity, trusting in Your love and living with the confidence that I belong to You. Let me reflect Your grace, love, and kindness as I interact with others today.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Action Step

• How does knowing you are adopted by God change the way you live?
