In Romans 8:15 (ESV), it is beautifully illustrated that believers are not slaves to fear but are instead embraced as sons and daughters, heirs of God's kingdom through Christ. This adoption is a spiritual reality that transforms their relationship with God, enabling them to call Him "Abba, Father" and live in the assurance of His love and acceptance. It's a profound reminder of their identity as children of God, chosen and loved unconditionally.
