The Spirit of Adoption

The eighth chapter of Paul’s letter to the Romans outlines a robust theology of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. In previous lessons, we have already discussed the Holy Spirit’s work in uniting believers to Christ, setting them free from the power of sin, and aiding them in the struggle against indwelling sin. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas describes the Holy Spirit’s vital work in our adoption into God’s family.
