How does the spirit of adoption affect a Christian's life?

Answered in 1 source

The spirit of adoption grants believers freedom from fear and enables them to relate to God intimately as their Father.

The spirit of adoption is a pivotal aspect of our Christian life as it allows us to communicate with God as our Father, effectively removing the spirit of bondage that comes with fear. Romans 8:15 tells us, "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." This enables us to approach God with confidence, expressing our deepest concerns and desires. The assurance that comes from the Spirit fosters a relationship of love and trust, encouraging us to live according to His will, while also affording us the grace we need for our imperfections and shortcomings.
