The Spirit Himself Bears Witness
Romans 8:12-17
"So then, brethren, we are under obligation,
not to the flesh to live according to the flesh -- for if you are living
according to the flesh you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to
death the deeds of the flesh, you will live. For all who are being led by the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of
slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as
sons by which we cry out, 'Abba! Father!' The Spirit Himself bears witness with
our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of
God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him that we may
indeed be glorified with Him." (Romans 8:12-17).
