IN Christ we are “no longer aliens/orphans/bastards/or outcasts;” but “now are we the sons of God.”
[Eph 2:12; 1 Jn 3:2]
It is written: “Behold, what manner of love the Father hast given unto us; that we should be called the sons of God.” For Abba has “predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself.” We are not our own, we belong to Jesus. As the saints of old would sing: MY BODY BELONGS TO GOD (3xs) MY WHOLE BODY BELONGS TO GOD. Selah.
[1 Jn 3:1; Eph 1:5]
In the garden (of Eden), when God foretold that: although “the seed of the serpent would bruise the heel of (Christ), the Seed of the woman; (Christ), her Seed, would (fatally) bruise (the serpent's) head;” Abba had our redemption/adoption in mind.
[Gen 3:15; cf 1 Jn 3:8]
Because God has cast Himself as “a Father of the fatherless,” and “because we are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father!”
[Ps 68:5; Gal 4:6-7]

ABBA, FATHER,
(WE) LOVE YOU, (WE) REALLY LOVE YOU.
