highlighted verses: Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit
of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with
our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 ķAnd if children, then heirs; heirs
of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him,
that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of
this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall
be revealed in us.
19
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation
of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to
vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same
in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall
be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of
the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation
groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also,
which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within
ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that
is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not,
then do we with patience wait for it.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
