Overview & Insights

"For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." (Romans 8:14)

Paul describes the Spirit's work of adoption, giving believers confidence to call God "Abba, Father" and naming them joint heirs with Christ. It pairs with the Pentecost story by explaining what the gift of the Spirit means for the believer's identity.
