In this powerful sermon from Romans 8, Brother Jesse Lockhart asks the piercing question, “Who are you?” and unfolds the answer through the doctrine of adoption, showing that believers are not merely forgiven sinners but fully adopted sons and daughters with a lineage, a heritage, and a family name written by God Himself. He contrasts the spirit of bondage—religion, fear, and the impossible weight of the law—with the Spirit of adoption that cries Abba, Father, granting believers identity, assurance, and access to the riches of Christ as joint‑heirs. Through vivid illustrations—from orphanages to the prodigal son’s ring, from the weight of the law to the freedom of grace—he reminds the church that salvation didn’t just rescue us from sin; it brought us into a family, gave us benefits, authority, and a place at the Father’s table. The message rises into a call for confidence and joy: stop living like spiritual paupers, stop fearing the fall, and stand in the full assurance that you’ve been adopted, sealed, and made an heir of everything Christ possesses. — Whitwell, Tennessee
