Romans 8:14 They Are the Sons of God

Posted on Posted in Devotions Tagged with , ,

Romans 8:14 (KJV)  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 

The proof of a Christian is that he is one led by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God indwelling the believer is the proof of the new birth, the beginning of spiritual life.

The Spirit-led believer finds the strength to overcome the temptations of the flesh, having victory over sin through the Spirit’s enabling. This is the authentication of sonship that such a one is indeed a child o God.

Romans 8:5 (KJV)  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 

Romans 8:9 (KJV) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

This is the blessed life of God’s children – Ephesians 5:9 (KJV)  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 

Amen.
