The
simple answer is: “The Holy Spirit testifies that I am a child
of God.
Romans
8:12-19 tells us;
“Therefore, brothers, we have an
obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if
you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you
put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who
are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not
receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the
Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba,Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Now if we are children, then we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with
Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in
his glory. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with
the glory that will be revealed in us.”
When we
are obedient to the Spirit of God, He will testify with our spirit that we are
the children of God.
If we
are children of God, we are co-heirs with Christ as heirs of God the Father. We
deserve to call Him, “Abba Father” and share all things that Christ inherited
from His Father in Heaven.
How
blessed we are!
Life is
worth living because of this belief in God’s Word. Amen.
