“Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons and daughters of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again. Rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him (the Spirit) we are able to cry out, “‘Abba’, Father.”
The Spirit himself testifies with our own spirit that we are indeed God’s children. And if we are His children, then we are His heirs: heirs of God, and co-heirs with Christ, provided that we indeed share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
~ Paul of Tarsus, Letter to the Romans, Ch. 8:14-17 (NIV)
