As Paul continues his argument of the Christian's full assurance of salvation, he explains one of the most beautiful and intimate truths of the believer's relationship with God... That of a beloved child. We will examine what it means to be part of the family of God.
To be part of the family of God means to:
Be led by the Spirit (v14)
Have brothers and sisters (v14)
Be adopted as a child of God (v15)
No longer be a slave to fear (v15)
Cry out to God as Abba Father (v15)
Have assurance of this relationship (v16)
