For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “ Abba! Father!”The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God.And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory. - Romans 8:14-17
