Abba

Galatians 4:6 says, “And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’ ”

“Sons” in the Greek means full grown sons. I think “crying” means, “I am your son and you are my Father.” It is an unhindered acknowledgement to the Father. It is  God the Father’s acknowledgement to us by grace through the ministry of reconciliation, Eph. 2:18, 2 Cor. 5:18. It speaks of an unspeakable or fully definable union or bond with our Creator and Father of our spirits by His beloved only Son.

This is the will of the Father that we be fully matured spiritual adults and to be ultimately His true offspring, Eph. 1:4-5. Christ said if we saw Him then we also saw the Father. Heb. 1:3 says Christ is the express image of the Father’s person, substance and essence. And Christ is the first born of many brethren.

“”Abba, Father!” is not “da-da, da-da”, but “Father! Father!” I am your offspring you are my Father.
