Limerick

There once was a man filled with grace
Who followed the Lord in every place
He was called to be heir
With Christ, he would share
And his faith in God never did he misplace

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of Romans 8:12-17 is to reflect on the idea of being free from fear. This passage talks about how we have received the Spirit of adoption, which allows us to call God our Father and gives us the confidence to approach Him without fear.

In practical terms, this can mean examining areas in your life where fear may be holding you back and actively working to overcome those fears. It could involve seeking out support or resources to help you address and conquer those fears, whether it’s through therapy, seeking advice from trusted friends or mentors, or taking steps to confront and challenge the things that make you anxious or afraid.

By embracing the idea of being a child of God and living without fear, you can work towards living a more confident and fulfilling life, free from the limitations that fear can impose. This could involve stepping out of your comfort zone, pursuing opportunities you might have otherwise shied away from, and ultimately living with a greater sense of freedom and peace.
