We are either operating from the fear of punishment that keeps us disconnected from the Father and enslaved to our old, orphan identity and the punishment paradigm (Paul calls it the “flesh”), or we are operating from loving connection with the Father as sons and daughters led by the Spirit. Spiritual growth is all about allowing the Holy Spirit to expose and cast out the fear of punishment wherever it shows up in our lives with His perfect (mature) love (see 1 John 4:18).
